Notes
CORRECTED 2026-07-31: national-brand absence was a RESEARCH GAP, not a finding. Contributor data confirms Pop Warner / AYF operating in AL, AZ, CA, CO, FL, IL, MI, NC, NJ, NY. Absence in this state is now unlikely; re-check directly. UNVERIFIED - could not confirm active MS associations for either national brand. If they are genuinely thin here, that is a real opening.
Seasons, fees and registration windows change. Confirm with the league before you pay. Our record: Unverified. What our tiers mean
