Registration Begins Mar 13 at LCCHS
La Costa Canyon Pop Warner is now accepting signups for the 2010 tackle football, cheerleading and flag football season beginning Aug. 2 and ending mid-November.
LCCPW is open to any youth age 5-15 wanting to participate in one of the following programs:
- Tackle Football for all players age 7-15;
- Cheerleading for participants age 5-15 aligned with Tackle or Flag teams;
- Flag Football for players age 5-7.
Pop Warner age is determined by the age of the participant on July 31, 2010. There is also a Challenger Flag program for youth ages 6-19, in school, with mental and/or physical challenges and not able to participate in the other football divisions.
LCCPW boundaries follow the La Costa Canyon High School service area. "La Costa Canyon High School shall include the boundaries of the Encinitas and Cardiff school districts and the area north of Escondido Creek in Rancho Santa Fe district." (Source: SDUHSD Website) Participants living outside these boundaries are encouraged to sign up with their home association. LCCPW participants from outside LCCPW's boundary will have to obtain a waiver from their home Pop Warner association within 30 days of in-person registration. Please email the Player-Agent if you plan to register within LCCPW from outside the association's service area at playeragent@lccpw.org.
Online Signups
An innovation this season is the application must be completed online. The online signup replaces downloading and manually filling out forms. This will significantly reduce registration and data entry errors.
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST COMPLETE ONLINE SIGNUPS PRIOR TO IN-PERSON REGISTRATION.
To begin the online signups,
CLICK ONLINE SIGNUPS HERE
and follow the instructions.
Once the online signups have been completed, download the filled-out forms. Bring these forms, along with a copy of the player's birth certificate, a wallet-sized photo of the player, and the registration fee (cash or check preferred) to in-person registration to complete the process.
Completing the online form does not register a participant. A participant is not given a priority number until the participant and/or parent/guardian complete the registration process at in-person registration.
Registration Dates
Registration, including payment and assigning priority number, still must be completed at in-person registration. In-Person Registration takes place at the La Costa Canyon HS Administration Building at the following dates and times:
Sat., March 13, 9am-3pm
Sat., March 20, 9am-3pm
Thu., March 25, 6pm-9pm
After March 25 registration is by appointment only, and age/weight divisions can be closed at that time. Space is limited so participants are urged to register in-person on one of those three dates.
Cost
Fees for the season are as follows:
Tackle Football: $375
Flag Football: $175
Tackle Football Cheer: $225*
Flag Football Cheer: $150*
* - cheer fees DO NOT INCLUDE purchase of uniform

UPDATED NOTE FROM 2010 PRESIDENT
Its an honor to be elected President of such a great organization as La Costa Canyon Pop Warner. I have big shoes to fill (figuratively speaking) following the excellent leadership provided by Fran Sesti. A huge thanks to Fran for her hard work - very few will ever know how important her constant attention to LCCPW was in making 2008 and 2009 successful years.
I also want to thank all the 2009 Board of Director volunteers for their hard work and dedication. For those moving on, you will be missed. For those returning, welcome back!
Pop Warner Football is practically a year-round activity, especially for board members and coaches, not to mention our year-round cheer squads. However, every returning and prospective new member should be aware of the upcoming key dates and timeframes for the 2010 season. (See KEY DATES IN 2010 below.)
Competitively, 2009 was a great success overall for LCCPW, with several standout team performances. We had two cheer squads - Golden Mavericks Jr. Pee Wee and Midget Mavericks - place 4th at Pop Warner Nationals. Our D2 Wild Mavericks Jr. Pee Wee team won the Palomar Championship. Six of our ten competitive-division teams advanced to Palomar playoffs, all of our cheer squads placed well at Palomar, and we had winning seasons for several Mitey Mite, Jr. Mitey Mite and Flag teams.
Based on member feedback, LCCPW continues to serve its membership well. In our annual survey results, 88% said they were either very satisfied or satisfied with LCCPW this season. Only six percent expressed any dissatisfaction. While this is good, I hope we can make it even better in 2010.
The upcoming year will likely be as financially challenging as 2009. We had to raise most of our fees $25 this season - our first fee increase in tackle football in 4 years - because of increased membership and insurance costs; plus additional mandated background checks and other items have warranted this modest fee increase.
Still, the huge rental increases instituted by local schools in 2009 for field practice space remain, and the increase in financial-need scholarship requests we experienced in 2009 will likely be there in 2010 too. LCCPW must continue its strong sponsorship and fundraising efforts to keep overall registration costs down. But again, the fee increases were not to pay for fields. We still have large commitments in 2010 and beyond. I'm confident we can achieve our fundraising goals in 2010, allowing us to keep our registration costs at around the current level. I look forward to working with everyone to do that.
Again, I want to thank all of the 2010 Board for volunteering their time toward this worthy organization. As a 100% volunteer-driven group, it is the dedications of these volunteers who enable us to create this wonderful and unique experience for our children.
I hope I get the opportunity to meet each member in 2010 and look forward to serving as your president. Thanks, and Go Mavericks!
Sincerely,
Chris Wildermuth
