Specific questions should yield specific answers. Since I’ve started with Pop Warner, we have made a habit of asking a lot of questions, seeking clear direction on how best to serve our members. And when they start asking questions back, it’s only fair we provide the same clarity we expect from them… even if hard questions don’t have easy answers.
This week, we addressed the most common questions we get regarding our national championship event model:
For more than 60 years Pop Warner has hosted a year-end national championship celebration unlike any in youth sports. As we planned for this year’s Pop Warner Super Bowl and Cheer & Dance Nationals, we thought it was important to share some revisions to the event honed by your input and recommendations.
While not every recommendation is feasible, many are. That’s why listening to input from a variety of stakeholders is crucial to build out a single event model. We believe this year’s event strikes a good balance.
But before we share the updates to the program, I think it’s important to address some of the big picture questions around our national championship event.
