Valpo Pop Warner

💚 VALPARAISO POP WARNER STANDS WITH OUR COMMUNITY 💚

Northwest Indiana has always been built on hard work, strong unions, and families who show up for each other.

Right now, many of our families are facing uncertainty due to the USW Local 7-1 / BP Whiting Lockout and USW 12775 & 13796 / NIPSCO Lockout. These aren’t just headlines — these are our teammates, parents, coaches, and friends.

At Valparaiso Pop Warner, we stand firm in what we believe:

👉 EVERY KID DESERVES TO PLAY.

We know that for some families, signing up right now may feel impossible — and we want you to hear this loud and clear:

👉 Please reach out to us. We are here to help.
👉 We are working on flexible solutions so no athlete is left out due to difficult times.

📣 IMPORTANT REMINDER: REGISTRATION DEADLINES ARE APPROACHING

🏈 Fall Tackle Football closes 4/17
📣 Cheer closes 5/15

⚠️ Teams are filling FAST, and we do not want any child missing out — especially right now.

This is not about handouts.
This is about community, support, and making sure no child misses their opportunity because of temporary hardship.

💚 Stay Valpo Strong. Union Strong. 💚

🐰💚 Happy Easter, VPW Family! 💚🐰

A HUGE thank you to our amazing VPW Cheer Bunnies 🐰💚 — you girls were the absolute best helpers, making magic happen and making life a whole lot easier for the Easter Bunny! Your energy, kindness, and teamwork made this event so special.

Still smiling thinking about last night… 💚💚💚

Our 5–7 year old Vikes absolutely brought it at the Train Like a Viking Conditioning Combine! 🏈🔥 The energy, the effort, and the excitement were everything we hope for at this age — and then some.

We are incredibly thankful for all of our volunteers who made all 3 combines possible. Coaches and players from ALL age groups showed up week in and week out to pour into these kids — and it shows. 👏

A huge thank you to Jessie Casas of Bold Strength Fitness, Brad Smeja of Core Power, Coach Kiolbasa (7U), Coach Hinojosa (6U), and all of our coaches from 6U–11U and Board Members who helped make this such a special experience.

And what may have been the best part? The outpouring of new coaches who showed up last night and now want to be part of this program. That’s how you build something special. 💪

Because here’s the truth —
A good coach can make or break a player’s love for the game… especially at 5–6 years old.

The balance of teaching proper technique safely, while keeping it fun and engaging, is everything. And last night? We saw SO many smiles. 💚

It also meant so much to see our older Viking players (8U–11U) out there helping teach our littles the Viking way. That’s culture. That’s family.

Don’t miss out - TACKLE FOOTBALL SIGN UPS CLOSE ON APRIL 17th and rosters are filling fast. Visit www.valpopopwarner.com and click “Registration Info.”

Future is bright in Valpo.
UNLEASH THE VIKINGS 🔥
