By: Jennie Mamary Nov. 16, 2011
A press conference will be held on Wednesday, November 16, 12:30 p.m., at the Dallas City Hall Flag Room, to formally announce that the North Texas Pop Warner Football League will host the Southwest Region Pop Warner Championship Football Tournament and Cheer/Dance Championships.
From November 25-26, the top-rated Pop Warner flag and full-contact football teams in the six-state region (Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma), along with their top-performing cheerleaders and dancers, will compete in various sites in the Dallas area, including Cotton Bowl Stadium in Fair Park.
This marks the first time in 15 years that North Texas has hosted the Southwest Region Championships. The deciding champions in each category earn the right to compete in the 2011 POP WARNER NATIONAL CHEER & DANCE CHAMPIONSHIPS, which will take place from Saturday, December 3 through Saturday, December 10 at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.
The Pop Warner Little Scholars program has long showcased young athletic talent, many of who has proven to be the next shining stars at the high school, collegiate and professional levels. The press conference will formally announce and briefly profile the teams in each age group vying for the right to compete in the National Pop Warner Football Championships.
Teams will represent various age/weight categories, from ages 5 to 15. The games will be played at both the Cotton Bowl and Bishop Lynch High School, while the Cheer/Dance Competition will take place at the Fair Park Coliseum.
Several dignitaries, including prominent elected officials and the region's top Pop Warner Football officers, are expected to be present at the press conference.
"This means the world to us because we're highlighting the future Collegiate-Bound and NFL players," said Ken Green, a board member for the North Texas Pop Warner Football League.
Dallas City Hall is located at 1500 Marilla St. in downtown Dallas. The Flag Room is located on the 6th Floor.
