Groups are associated with Somerset Bears
The Mountain Valley Conference Pop Warner is registering youngsters for the second season of the “The Somerset Little Bears” in the Challenger Football & Cheerleading League.
The mission of the Challenger League is to bring the Pop Warner Little Scholars experience to those who have an IEP/special needs in grades 2 through 8. The program offers these kids the opportunity to participate in a football or cheerleading program.
The Challenger program is non-competitive and no score will be kept. The games model after a regular game with warm-ups, coin toss and singing of the national anthem, etc. Participation is only at the request of the individual’s parent or guardian. Games will be played on Sundays on various high school fields. Once registered, you will receive a call from the coach. Schedules will be provided.
The program begins Aug. 2 and ends Oct. 27. Required equipment will be provided.
Practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Torpey Field complex in Bridgewater. The football players will have opportunities to practice alongside with Bridgewater’s semi-pro football team, the Somerset Bears. The program offers individuals the opportunity to participate in an activity that they normally would not be given a chance to do.
If interested in registering, or if you have questions or concerns, contact Ken DiGraziano at 908-285-1418 ([email protected]) or Pam Biondo at 908-421-4347 ([email protected]).
