Winchendon Pop Warner

The principal activity of the Winchendon Pop Warner program (WPW) is to produce long-term benefits for both the youth student athletes and the community of Winchendon at large by providing in-town opportunities for youth to participate in the team sports of football and cheerleading, eliminating barriers such as transportation and high registration fees and in-town volunteerism activities for community members.
