about the challenger program
This program was founded in 2006 and is funded solely through private contributions and fundraising. There is no cost for this program under the guidelines of our parent organization Pop Warner. We are directly affiliated with Penndel Wildcats. Our program has provided more than 600 special needs athletes with the unique and fun opportunity to pair up with high school football players and cheerleaders for a 10-week program of skills, drills, games, and most importantly, long-lasting friendships. We have full permission from the district to use their football stadium.
Our inclusive program offers comprehensive skill training and valuable game experience in the exciting sport of Flag Football, specifically tailored for athletes with special needs. This unique opportunity allows local high school football players to share their expertise and passion with special needs athletes, providing dedicated instruction and support throughout the season, which runs from September to November.
Our program aims to promote inclusivity, teamwork, and personal growth, fostering a supportive and enriching environment for all participants. You can make a difference by joining this community that empowers athletes of all ages, helping children build confidence, teamwork, and friendships in a fun, inclusive environment. Every player and volunteer is committed to and passionate about helping every child shine. Together, we can create unforgettable moments and a lasting impact!
