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

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 2019, 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 FIVE teams play for Orange Bowl Championships!   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 2020   (Coaches will not be officially selected by interview committee until April)

• Rick Pizzuti - 20+ years  - Multiple Orange Bowls - Regional Championships, National Championships tournament
• Mark Graves - 20+ years - Multiple Orange Bowls - Regional Championships, National Championships tournament

• Daniel Badraun - 10+ Years - MV Cowboys - Multiple Orange Bowls and PCC/OCJAAF Championships

• We are putting together our plans for 2020  RIGHT NOW.   If you want to be part of a winning organization that puts players first and is all about safety and teaching, join us in January  through April registrations.

Do you have a very gifted athlete that you are looking for a specific team make up?   Are you looking for a specific type of coach for  your son?   Do you want to join a team that could go all the way to the National Championships in Orlando?   LET US KNOW at smpopwarner@gmail.com   SMPW is putting together two types of teams in 2020  Championship format and Developmental format.
