Pop Warner Football

I played Pop Warner football when I was twelve years old. Here are some observations:

None of the teams had home fields in real stadiums with electronic scoreboards.
None of the teams had locker rooms.
None of the teams had jerseys with players' names on them.
We played ten-minute quarters, on eighty yard fields.
None of the teams had blocking equipment or other fancy practice apparatus.
None of the teams played with leather Wilson footballs. They were too expensive. We used rubber Voit footballs.
Pop Warner football did not include field goals or kicked PATs (points after touchdown).
The weight range for the division that twelve-year-old kids played in was from ninety to one hundred and twenty pounds. Some of the kids in the movie were probably fifty pounds over that limit.
There were kids who were "bench warmers", who sometimes didn't get into games. Nobody complained or cried about it. The goal was to win games. The way to get off the bench was to work harder and get better at playing football.

I played a long time ago. Maybe things have changed.
