Challenger Information

The mission of the Challenger League is to bring the Pop Warner Little Scholars experience to those special needs individuals that would normally not be given that chance. The Challenger program is non-competitive and no score will be kept. The games however, model after a regular game with warm-ups, coin toss, and singing of the National Anthem etc.  Participation in the Challenger League is only at the request of the individual's parent or guardian.

Capital District Pop Warner currently serves 9 counties in Northeastern New York State.
