History Of Youth Football - The Reason Why There Are Youth Football Uniforms

While I was reading a page from my favorite site, I saw a post about kids who really love playing football. Then suddenly, while I am at the mid part of the article, an idea came into my mind.

In his honor, the league was renamed the Pop Warner Conference.
