In a first for any national football organization, the Pop Warner youth league announced Thursday that it will ban the traditional three-point stance.
Pop Warner, the nation's oldest youth football organization, will be eliminating the stance in its three youngest divisions -- Tiny Mite , Mitey Mite and Junior Pee Wee -- as of the 2019 season.Beginning in September, players in those divisions will no longer be able to place their hands on the ground before they snap the ball.
"Eliminating the three-point stance should lessen the amount of force between linemen and we expect it will cut down on unintentional helmet contact at the line," said Dr. Julian Bailes, chairman of the Pop Warner Medical Advisory Committee, in the statement.Pop Warner will also be eliminating the kickoff in its Pee Wee division, after banning the move in its three youngest divisions in 2016. Now, after a score or when starting a half, the ball will be placed at the 35 yard line.
