OC's Biggest and Best Leads With Cutting Edge Safety Technology in 2019

NFL Head Referee's Tony Corrente and Carl Cheffers spoke to SMPW!

SMPW is teaming up with Dr. Mike Flores and team from AMP Sports Med in 2018 to provide cutting edge technology for every SMPW player with Safety as the number 1 focus.

Dr. Mike spoke on this new process at the SMPW Town Hall on June 11th. The Town Hall was held during SMPW Physical Day at Athlete's Choice in Rancho Santa Margarita. Dr. Mike spoke on concussion prevention and the use of KINETISENSE technology.

The Town Hall also featured current NFL Head Referee's Tony Corrente, and Carl Cheffers who talked about football safety from an officiating perspective and shared some NFL stories. Tommy D, of Athlete's Choice spoke on effective player training to round out our guest speakers.

Look for additional innovation led by SMPW in 2019

SIGN UP ON LINE TODAY FOR 2019 FOOTBALL/CHEER

On-line registration link for 2019 SMPW Football and Cheer. Space is very limited and some levels/teams will fill up before April. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE! SMPW will be creating two distinctly different teams in 2019; ULTRA COMPETITIVE Championship type teams and well coached DEVELOPMENTAL type teams.

2019 Fall Registration is Open Now

We are a CHARACTER MATTERS league

We believe that SAFETY is our top priority

We teach LIFE SKILLS

We promote GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP

We DEVELOP LEADERS

In 2018, SMPW had all competitive level teams make the playoffs! No other league has that happen. It starts with coaching and organization. Two teams played in Regional Championships with one winning the championship. We had two of our cheer teams earn the opportunity to compete on the national stage in Orlando and our Varsity team placed 3rd in the USA! No other youth football/Cheer comes close! WHY? SMPW has better organization and better coaching than those other leagues. 5 of our head coaches have 20 years each experience in youth football and DON'T have kids on the team and 4 other head coaches have over 10 years experience each!

In 2018, SMPW also became the new home of the MV COWBOYS program with multiple Cowboy Teams. SMPW will keep the proud MV COWBOYS heritage alive. You are in COWBOY COUNTRY! Our Pee Wee Cowboys team is coached by the founding family fo the Mission Viejo Cowboys and played in the Regional Championships this year! A second team was also coached by members of this family at Flag and finished the season undefeated!

At SMPW, we KNOW that coaches make the difference! Over the past 22 years, SMPW has developed the reputation for having the "Biggest and Best" program and one of the main reasons is we recruit and retain only the BEST coaches. For the past 5 years our league regularly gets 10% enrollment from "Other" youth football leagues and COACHES is a big reason.

Some of the Head Coaches for 2019 (Coaches will not be officially selected by interview committee until April)

Mike Healy - 20+ years - Multiple Orange Bowls - Regional Championships, National Championship Tournament
Rick Pizzuti - 20+ years - Multiple Orange Bowls - Regional Championships, National Championships tournament

THIS...is SMPW Pop Warner

Don't be fooled in to committing to a new Snoop Dog program in MV before checking out the facts. Despite paid for ads by ex NFL players claiming to be an "ELITE" program, they have never coached one player, never fielded a team, never prepared any player for the next level, never done one background check on a coach, never won or lost a game. This "ELITE" program claims that Pop Warner is only for developing young players yet SMPW has helped over 7000 players prepare for HS Football. SMPW had 19 players listed on the home page that went on to college football last year alone and the "ELITE" program had zero. SMPW has over 23 years of proven success.
STILL the best pricing in OC youth sports - Tackle football starts at $100 and includes everything needed - all practice gear, two uniforms, latest technology helmet, shoulder pads, spirit pack, free week long camp and picture packet! NO ONE DOES THIS. Sign up now!
Refer friends to SMPW and earn up to $150.00 back!
Play games in ORANGE COUNTY vs. other leagues playing in LA each week
Practice and play games with players of same weight/age - Safety first
Play with friends you go to school with locally
NEW FOR 2019 - Adding a new additional division - 12 and Under ELITE Division with no weight restriction. This matches up with our 14 and Under Elite Division(formerly know as Varsity Unlimited) that was added last year that also has no weight restriction. We still have all the same divisions as last year as well.
