Teams are allowed to start practice no sooner than August 1st.

Practices are limited to 2 1/2 hours in duration, and are limited to 10hrs a week (typically 5 days a week) before Labor Day.

Practices change to three 2 hour sessions per week (6hrs per week) after Labor Day and for the rest of the season.

First game of the season typical starts on or before Labor Day weekend.

Some of key points about this division:

• -Speed is at a new level.
• -Coaching and team work is highly important.
• -Playoffs and Post-season Travel Allowed.
• -Different size ball from lower divisions
• -More skilled position players
• -6-10 minimum total plays for each player (depends on size of team)

Lakewood Pop Warner provides each team with footballs, pads, helmet, game and practice pants and numbered game jerseys (players keep their jersey).

Participants provide their own cleats, athletic supporter and mouthpiece.

All participants must have a physical for the current year before being allowed to practice or play a game.

We would like to encourage you to “get involved” and help make this a positive experience for the participants.

Please fell free to contact us (info@lakewoodlancers.org) or our Athletic Director (ad@lakewoodlancers.org) for more information on how you can get involved.
