TROJAN Strength....Trojan Confidence....Trojan Family
Garner Civitan Pop Warner Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation operated by Garner Civitan for the purpose of developing, fostering, and promoting local youth athletics. We have been serving the Garner community for over 60 years, and are committed to providing a quality experience in a safe environment that promotes personal excellence, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
We are a member of Pop Warner Little Scholars, and are subject to the rules and regulations set forth by PWLS for our Pop Warner cheerleading and tackle football programs. Our association is part of the Mid-South Region, a geographical division put in place by Pop Warner Little Scholars. Within our Region, there are several Leagues. Our League is the Consolidated Football Federation, or CFF. Just over a dozen Associations make up the CFF. These are the teams our children meet in games and competitions.
Our spring flag football program is run under the NFL Flag Football banner. The number of associations that participate varies from year to year, but we always have a good time!
Our organization is run entirely by volunteers. All the members of the Board of Directors are volunteers, and are not compensated for the hundreds of hours they work throughout the year to keep this program going. All our coaches and seasonal staff are also volunteers who put in many hours on and off the practice fields each season.
The programs are funded through registration fees, game admission fees, sponsors, and fundraisers. All funds are put back into the program to pay expenses and make improvements. Some of the expenses we incur each year include: repair and/or replacement of equipment, uniforms, and safety gear (such as mats for cheerleading), field usage fees, insurance, membership dues, background checks for staff, merchandise for resale, referees, and various administrative expenses.
Each year we strive to improve and nurture this program, thus ensuring its continued existence and availability for the community. We appreciate the support and enthusiasm of all our volunteers, sponsors, and parents.
