RIP--- Our Beloved Angel Mary-Ann Sawyer
To our SMPW Family,
It is with great sadness to inform you we lost a beloved SMPW Family member today. Mary-Ann Sawyer passed away this afternoon, ending her long battle with cancer. She has been a long time key person in our SMPW family. She will truly be missed.
- Please know that SMPW is working with a collection Agency to collect funds from all who still owe SMPW equipment.
- These items were issued to your player with the intend of them being returned upon the end of season.
- In effort to keep future costs down, we rely on the equipment to be returned.
In the News: For instance, while the city has an extensive parks system, it lacks public space for youth football. Instead, she said, youth football teams must lease high school fields at steep rates. "I want to provide not only park space, but venues to play organized sports," she said. "And I want it to be affordable to our families. "San Marcos City Councilwoman-elect Kristal Jabara For more info, Click here

Football Safety Facts & Information
|
Safety & Facts - Excerpt from the National Pop Warner Website In Pop Warner Football, there is “an absence of catastrophic head and neck injuries and disruptive joint injuries found at higher levels.”
The injury
rate in Pop Warner Football is: • Pop Warner's age-weight schematic protects younger, lighter players, who do not have higher injury rates. • Organized football among 5 – 15 year-olds has 12 percent fewer injuries per capita than organized soccer in the same age range • Organized football among 5 – 15 year-olds has 50 percent fewer injuries per capita than bicycle riding in the same age range. • Organized football among 5 – 15 year-olds has 74 percent fewer injuries per capita than skateboarding in the same age group. • Injuries in youth football are normally mild, and older players have a higher injury rate than younger players. • The Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma in New York completed a Pop Warner injury survey in 71 towns covering over 5,000 players in 1998. The injury experience of 5,128 boys (8 to 15 years of age, weight 22.5 to 67.5 kg [50 to 150 lb]) participating in youth football revealed an overall rate of significant injury of 5%, with 61% classified as moderate and 38.9% as major injuries. That's about 1.33 per team per year. No catastrophic injuries occurred, and it was rare for a permanent disability to result from any injury.

Parents Code of Conduct
This code is intended to establish and sustain a positive environment for the youth who participate in our program and shall provide a guideline to parents and adults.
- I will not force my child or any child to participate in youth football or cheer.
- I will assist the association in teaching my child and others in this league that rules are important and will instill in the child that rules are important.
- I understand that children learn best by example and that I will always attempt to set a good example for my child and any other children who participate or have any involvement with SMPW.
- I will teach my child that winning is important but that honesty and hard work are equally rewarding, indiscriminate of whether it was accomplished in victory or defeat.
- I will teach my child that one individual cannot win a team competition.
- I will teach and demonstrate by example the importance of good sportsmanship in victory and in defeat.
- I will not publicly question the honesty, integrity or judgment of the volunteer coaches or other adult volunteers.
- I understand that verbal and physical abuse is not to be tolerated against anyone in this league.
- I understand that racial epithets or negative innuendo related to a person’s race, religion, or ethnicity will not be tolerated.
- I recognize that respect among adults is necessary for success in this league and that all adult volunteers are entitled to respect, as are the children.
-
As a Parent, Guardian or Spectator, I will responsibly handle disagreements. I agree not to engage in divisive activity such as verbal and physical confrontation. I will not create conflict by slander, malicious rumors or threats. Nor will I entice another to do so. I agree to first submit any complaints to my local organization and then to the commissioner of Palomar Conference as a last resort. Complaints to SMPW will be in writing via letter, mail or email.
