Palm Beach and Broward Youth Go the Distance with Boca Braves Football and Cheer
The Boca Braves, a local football and cheerleading league serving over 150 of Broward and Palm Beach County youth, goes the distance this 2018 season with several of their teams advancing to the Pop-Warner Superbowl and SE Regional Cheer Competition.
Boca Raton, FL, November 10, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The 2018 season has been an especially exciting one for the youth football players and cheerleaders in Boca Raton, Florida. The Boca Braves, a non-profit Pop-Warner youth league, has had four of their football teams make it to the Pop-Warner Superbowl playoffs this season, and all three of their cheer squads are advancing to the Southeast Regional Pop-Warner Cheer Competition in Orlando at the end of November.
This weekend, their Junior Varsity football team is going the distance and will be playing in the second round of Superbowl playoffs at Tropical Park in Miami at 4 pm. While some Palm Beach and Broward leagues receive city funding, the Boca Braves rely on registration fees, fundraising and the support of local organizations to pay for travel costs, field permits, referees, uniforms, and equipment. With over 35% of their players receiving full or partial scholarships to cover registration, funding needs continue to be a challenge.
"This league does more than coach football and cheer," explains Mark Sainmervil, President of the Boca Braves. "We teach discipline, sportsmanship, and the importance of teamwork. Plus, youth sports give our children a much-needed outlet."
To support the Boca Braves, consider donating to their GoFundMe page, or visit BocaBraves.com to inquire about sponsorship and volunteer positions.
