Equipment: Each athlete will be required to purchase a Helmet, Shoulder Pads, Girdle, Practice Pants and Mouthpiece. A practice jersey will be provided to your child and must be collected at the end of the season. If not returned, you will be invoiced for the cost of the jersey. There will be a Representative from Riddell Sports coming to our practice within the next month to fit our athletes for equipment. We do ask that on this day that every child that is playing tackle be there to get properly fitted. Once everything has been done Riddell will setup a team store where our parents can go on there and purchase all the equipment and it will be shipped to you.
Our Practice: Playing for Xplosion is a commitment of 10 hours conditioning per week for the first 3 weeks of the season as well as continued weekly practices. Practice dates and times will be set by your coach. Typically, teams will meet 2-3 times a week (plus games) once school starts.
Game Day: Games are on Saturdays and season will begin the first week of September. Our home field will be Youngkers High School located in Buckeye. We do travel to compete against other Arizona Pop Warner Associations.
Competition: Top teams will have the opportunity to advance to local championships, as well as regional and national championships.
