FALLBROOK – Fallbrook's Pop Warner youth tackle football and cheer program wear pink at their games during October, which is Breast Cancer Month. They do it to bring awareness of breast cancer, as well as support those who are fighting, have fought or have been affected by someone with breast cancer.
The Pop Warner players wear their pink socks while the cheer teams wear pink bows.
The end of the season for most of the teams was Oct. 12. Flag teams for 5-7 year olds and Mitey Mite tackle teams for 7-9 year olds are non-competitive so they do not have playoffs games. They had some wins and some losses, and they built relationships and learned many lessons this season.
The 10U, 12U Warriors, 12U Aztecs and the 14U teams have had a season of struggle. From needing more players on the team to having the competition stacked against them, they will all be moving on to the local playoffs starting Oct. 12. They will play every week until Nov. 2, unless they lose.
When they win all those games, they will move on to play in the regional finals, "The Best of the West," held at La Costa Canyon High School.
Cheer has their conference competition coming up this month as well, Oct. 27.
Now that their season is coming to a close, Fallbrook Pop Warner President Rolando Uresti said, "I like to take a moment to thank all the volunteers for their time and their talents to get this season started and successfully completed. From the board members and team parents to the coaches and coaching staff, your dedication and commitment are greatly appreciated."
With that being said, Uresti would also like to extend an invitation to community members to join the Pop Warner board as they need replacement volunteers for families moving on to the high school level this year. Anyone interested can email him at [email protected].
