Gilbert Pop Warner Pays Tribute to Pat Raidy
 :

 
Gilbert Pop Warner lost a member of our family last month, Pat Raidy. Pat was a wonderful father who loved to watch his five sons participate in sports. GPW is fortunate to have been blessed by Pat Raidy's friendship and sense of humor. "The 2010 Gilbert Pop Warner football season will be played in the memory of Pat Raidy, and other men like him, who teach us daily, what it really means to be a father."Throughout all of our registrations, and during the season at the snack bar at our home fields at Mesquite Jr High, we will have a donation canister for the Pat Raidy Memorial Fund. The money raised will go directly to Teri and their five sons. I hope you join us in donating to the Raidy family. 

 

 

Thank you and best regards,

 

Marc Washburn
President,
Gilbert Pop Warner

Help your league and help your young athlete at the same time.
 
Strength of America, America's longest running youth only strength and speed development program, is offering a special for all Pop Warner athletes.  Join strength of America's regular Strength and Speed Development program at their facility in Mesa during the months of March or April and they will donate $25 back to our league.
 
The first workout will be to test your athlete to see where they are prone to injury, due to muscle imbalances of strength and or flexibility.  They also will be tested on Speed, Agility and Power.  Your athlete will then fill out a three day food chart to see what their normal diet is like.  SOA wants to help teach the athlete how important it is to eat a balanced diet as well as how to hydrate.
 
The workouts are twice a week, 90 minutes each workout.  These are generally done on Monday and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays at either 4:00-5:30 or 5:30-7:00pm.  They also have classes on Saturdays from 10:00-11:30.  The cost of the 4 week program is $115 and they will prorate if your athlete starts after the first of the month.
 
To take advantage of this offer and help our league out with the fundraiser, contact Bob or Sandy Davis at the information below.
 
Thank you,
