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

2020 Fall SMPW Registration will open in January 2020

On-line registration link for 2020 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 2020; ULTRA COMPETITIVE Championship type teams and well coached DEVELOPMENTAL type teams.

2020 Fall Registration will open in mid January 2020

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
Jim Staff - 20+ years - Multiple Orange Bowls, Regional Championships, National Championships tournament
Robert Badraun - 20+ years - MV Cowboys - Multiple Orange Bowls, Regional Championships and OCJAAF Super Bowls

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.
