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 due to field and referee availability. 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.

  to play football. Must be signed and have the doctor’s stamp on it.

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.
