Registration Money:  All participants in the Coastal Pop Warner League are required to pay an $80.00 registration fee with a discount given to additional siblings.  $35.00 of this money is paid to the league for insurance, officials, and fields.  The remaining $45.00 is used for equipment.  Helmets cost $65 and jerseys cost from $20-45.  Based on this, please understand that it is important to take care of our equipment and turn in all equipment at the end of the season.  The equipment will be inventoried this year with parents being billed for any missing items. 

Sponsorships:  Based on the aforementioned economics of the league, sponsorships are vital to our survival and growth.  If you own a company or want to personally contribute, please contact Debbie Trafton at dtrafton@ec.rr.com or 798-2337.  Also, please thank and support the 2008 season sponsors that have contributed so far.
