2011 Online Football and Cheer & Dance Coaching
Certification Deadline Extended to Sept. 15

Due to technical problems and the prolonged power outages on the East Coast from Hurricane Irene, we're extending the deadline for meeting the coaching education certification requirement to September 15th for this year only.

PWLS requires that each head coach complete a Pop Warner approved coaching course in order to foster a safe learning environment for its young participants and further the educational mission of Pop Warner.
