I was wonder does Pop Warner really help kids succeed on HS level if they played Pop Warner or any little league football. Is Pop Warner football really that good? did any of you play?

Interesting you mentioned about the bigger kids cuz in my city too, the ones that ended up being good in hs/college didn't play pop warner but played unlimited( no weight or position restrictions)Played for five years
Also have younger cousins who played
I think a lot of dudes who end up being good football players are too big to play Pop Warner. Theres a weight limit, so if you're a hefty kid you might get put on a team with older kids.
It also goes the other way around. For example if you're in the 9th grade and weigh under 150 you can play Pop Warner instead of go out for your HS freshman team.
Its a commitment . Practice M - F 5 to 7. Helmet only walkthroughs Saturdays at 9am. Games on Sunday.
Its a good experience IMO. Travelling to other towns. Working hard in practice.
Teamwork.
Etc
Pop warner is usually different rec centers/ leagues from nearby towns n cities playing each other which aren't usually associated with a school...sounds like your nephew played for a school teamExcuse my ignorance but what's the difference between Pop Warner and the league my nephew played in when he was young and just pitted local elementary/middle schools vs each other?
Pop Warner seems to be very popular in Florida.
Popular is an understatement for what it's like in Florida , some losers bet money on the games. Some losers even threaten refs and coaches
