The WYFL program is a community non-profit affiliate of the Pop Warner Youth Football League, whose mission is to provide exceptional training and skill development in the game of football, servicing the Warrenville/Wheaton/Winfield area youth who are ages 6-14. The goal of the Warrenville Youth Football program is to provide kids with an opportunity to participate in an organized, supervised and educational athletic program. We are certain that we will be bringing a league to the area unlike any other.
Pop Warner Football has announced recipients of their All American Scholarship program. These participants are qualified on a national level based upon criteria including their scholastic achievements and community involvement. This year's class includes many children from the Warrenville Youth Football League.
Pop Warner is the only national youth football program that requires it's athletes to maintain a minimum academic level to participate in it's programs. Current report cards are maintained by league officials and required at the start of every game.
The WYFL Tigers indicate that more than half of their players qualified successfully for the Academic All American status, which requires a minimum of a 96% grade point. This process begins at the association level and works it's way through each of the eight Pop Warner regions up to the national level.
Some of the qualifying scholars will be attending the upcoming regional banquet and will also have the opportunity to advance to the National level. This year's National Banquet will be held in Chicago later this year.
The Warrenville Youth Football League recently received complete support from the Chicagoland Pop Warner association as a fully approved member following their mandatory probationary year. Registration for the upcoming Tigers season begins in February and runs through May 31st. Further information is available at wyfltigers.com.
