Apr 16, 2008 – The Robert Emery Meachem Follow Your Dreams Foundation has been awarded League status in the state of Oklahoma. Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. (PWLS) is a non-profit organization that provides youth football and cheer & dance programs for participants in 41 states and several countries around the world. Consisting of approximately 360,000 young people ranging from ages 5 to 16 years old, PWLS is the largest youth football, cheer and dance program in the United States.
Founded in 1929, Pop Warner continues to grow and serves as the only youth football, cheerleading & dance organization that requires its participants to maintain academic standards in order to participate. Pop Warner's commitment to academics is what separates the program from other youth sports around the world.
As the only national youth sports organization that requires scholastic aptitude to participate, Pop Warner is committed to developing America's young people on the field and off. Each year Pop Warner continues to expand its efforts in team and activity participation, as well as visibility and outreach in the community.
Since 1929, the Pop Warner Programs Philosophy has been that athletics and scholastics go hand in hand. At every level, Pop Warner programs seek to develop well-rounded young men and women who learn not only the fundamentals of football, cheerleading, and dance but also the importance of education in an atmosphere conducive to developing sound character while having a good time.
The Green Country of Oklahoma Pop Warner League is preparing to begin its first season this August. The League is making plans for several sign up dates in the city of Tulsa. Youth in the city of Tulsa and surrounding areas are invited to sign up to join the League. We are also seeking volunteers to help with the League.

Through this active participation, Pop Warner programs teach fundamental values, skills and knowledge that children will use throughout their lives.
