What to Expect

Kenai Peninsula Pop Warner Football is a youth football league representing a large portion of the Kenai Peninsula. Athletes come from all over the peninsula and range from 5-14. KPPW uses the official rule book of Pop Warner Little Scholars which has strict rules regarding safety of the players. All players are required to have 10 hours of conditioning without gear and 10 hours of practice with full gear before participating in a game. Weigh-ins are conducted before each game to ensure a level playing field and that all required paperwork is in place. The Mandatory Play Rule (MPR) is strictly followed to ensure that all players have the opportunity to participate in the game. All teams in the league are guaranteed 8 official games in the regular season not counting play-offs. KPPW stresses the importance of scholastic achievement, requiring a 2.0 to participate in games. We combine sports and scholastics for a positive experience.
