Sixty-four teams from around the nation are participating in the event, held annual by the Pop Warner organization, which has youth athletes with the opportunity to play, learn and grow from the sport for nearly a century.

National champions will be crowned in five divisions based on age and weight – Jr. Pee Wee (ages 8-11), Pee Wee (ages 9-12), Jr. Varsity (ages 10-13), Varsity (ages 12-15) and Unlimited (11-14, 105-lb. minimum).  Teams advanced to the Pop Warner Super Bowl by winning their respective league and regional championships.  Each team is guaranteed two games at the Super Bowl, with a National Champion crowned in each age-weight division and competition level.

Six teams from South Florida and one from Central Florida qualified for the Pop Warner Super Bowl championship this year. The Ocoee Bulldogs – Central Florida’s lone representative in this year’s championship – face Blackhawks AC in Division I Junior Varsity action Sunday, Dec. 2, at 1 p.m.
