To all Administrators and
Coaches,
This is a friendly reminder of
the responsibilities of a coach,
Football or Cheer Coordinator or
President of an association.
Pop Warner holds every
President, Cheer Coordinator and
Football Coordinator responsible
for the actions of the coaches
in their association. If an
administrator knows of an issue
and fails to take appropriate
action he or she is just as
responsible as the coach.
Coaches serve at the approval of
the Association on behalf of the
Conference. The Conference has
the authority to approve or
disapprove coaches. Coaches
serve as coaches at the approval
of the Association. A President,
Cheer Coordinator, Football
Coordinator, or any Conference
Board Member has the authority
and responsibility to pull a
coaches or volunteer badge at
anytime he or she feels there is
just cause. Associations have
the right to remove a coach at
anytime permanantly or
temporarily after a proper
hearing before the association
board.
Any coach who fails to follow
the direction of the President,
Cheer Coordinator or Cheer
Coordinator will be charged
under Pop Warner Rule ( refer to
page 24 Pop Warner Rule book).
Any placement of children on
teams is the responsibility of
the association to follow Pop
Warner Rules and the best
interest of the child. This
decision is not a coach. The
President of an association
along with the coordinators must
be the final authority on these
decisions. If the Conference
finds a child playing over
weight on a team or the coach,
coordinators and President on
behalf of the association will
be held responsible.
The President has the
responsibility of final decision
on the association level if
there is any disagreement within
an association on the placement
of a child. Any coach who fails
to follow the direction of the
President of Coordinator acting
within the rules of Pop Warner
will be guilty of Pop Warner
rule Page 24 S-1 Adult Offenses
paragraph I Lack of Cooperation
/ Obstruction. Any person in Pop
Warner including the Presidents
can be charged with the same
paragraph if acting outside of
the rules or acting on behalf of
personal gain. Any person acting
outside the rules on placement
of children can be charged with
Pop Warner rule Page 25 S3 Team
/ Association Offenses section
A. This is an association charge
and the association will be held
responsible via the President.
The bottom line here is there is
NO PERSON to include coaches
that have 100% authority over a
team or child. All teams have a
head coach and all head coaches
have and association and all
associations have a conference
and all conferences have a
region and all regions have a
National Pop Warner Office.
This email is not directed to
any association or individual.
This is only a reminder of
everyone's responsibility.
Everyone is doing a great job an
we wish everyone the best.
Jim Suber
PRESIDENT
GREATER JACKSONVILLE POP WARNER
