Pop Warner has eliminated the kickoff for three groups of kids
On Thursday Pop Warner an organization which serves over 225,000 youth players ages 5 to 15 announced that there will no longer be kickoffs in its three youngest levels, the Tiny Mite (ages 5-7), Mitey Mite (7-9) and Junior Pee Wee (8-10) divisions.
Instead, the ball will be placed at the 35-yard line at the start of each half, and following scoring drives. And if you’re wondering, there is little doubt as to why the change is being made: To keep players safe.
