When does the season run?
Our season runs from the last week of July or the first week in August (depending on how the Jersey Shore Pop Warner Football League schedule lays out) and lasts until early November, plus playoffs if eligible. We practice 10 hours a week before Labor Day and six hours a week after Labor Day. Games are usually on Sundays but Saturday evening/night games are a possibility as well. You will find that Pop Warner Football is a major commitment for both player and parents.

What paperwork is required and when is it due?
This year, we’re trying to do as much of the paperwork at the initial registration as possible.

If you're a returning player you need to bring:

1. At registration:
• A recent wallet sized photo.
• A check (or credit card) for the Registration Fee

2. The day you get your equipment (approximately July 2009).
• Three, readable photocopies of the final 2008-2009 report cards.
• A check (or credit card) for Raffle Tickets
• A check for the Uniform/Volunteer Deposit

3. The first night of practice (July/August 2009).
• THE JERSEY SHORE POP WARNER MEDICAL FORM, stating that you're physically fit to play football. It MUST be on the Jersey Shore form, not on doctor’s letterhead. This form is on the website. The date for the physical cannot be earlier than January 1, 2009.

If you're a new player or returning player who didn't play last season you need to bring:

1. At registration:
• An original Birth Certificate with raised seal and one photocopy.

How do I get a refund if my child decides not to play?
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED AFTER AUGUST 15th or the end of the second week of practice, whichever is sooner. In order to receive a refund, all equipment must be returned as well as a completed exit survey and a refund request form. The Brick Pop Warner Dragons are very interested in providing the best possible organization for the children of Brick. We are concerned when a child leaves the club and would like to know if the organization could have done something different. The purpose of the exit survey is to solicit the opinions and/or reasons why a child leaves.
-- FULL REFUNDS PRIOR TO UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION.
-- 50% REFUNDS BETWEEN UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION AND AUGUST 15TH.
-- NO REFUNDS AFTER AUGUST 15TH.
-- ALL REFUND REQUESTS MUST BE MADE ON A REFUND REQUEST FORM AND BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD, AND ALL UNIFORMS MUST BE RETURNED.
-- NO REFUNDS ON RAFFLE MONEY

What do I need to do if my child gets hurt during the season?
• Notify your child’s Head Coach.
• Head Coach will fill out an injury report.
• Injury report will be given to the 2nd Vice-President who will process it.

PLEASE NOTE:
The Brick Pop Warner Dragons carries insurance for such incidents but it is also important that you understand and follow the process of medical claim submission. If an injury does occur you should let the head coach know immediately. He will give you an accident report to fill out. Please be advised that the Pop Warner insurance is always secondary to any other insurance coverage you may have. This means that you must submit all associated medical bills to your primary insurance carrier first.
If there are still balances due after the primary insurance makes their payments, you must submit the balance due bills along with a fully completed claim form to the Brick Pop Warner Dragons 2nd Vice President. All claims must be submitted to our insurance company within 90 days of the injury so it’s important that you follow-up on all bills in a timely matter.

When are the General Membership meetings?
All General Membership meetings are the first Friday of each month with the exception of December. There is no meeting in December due to equipment return. Check the web-site for any updates on meeting dates and times.

How can I volunteer my time for the Brick Pop Warner Dragons South, Inc.?
