Lakewood Pop Warner provides each team with footballs; equipment, 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.

Since Tiny-Mite football is an entry-level tackle program, most of the coaches and cheer instructors are parents of children on the team. This is a great opportunity for you to get involved on the ground floor of what we hope will be a long and rewarding football experience for your child.

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.
