All this talk in the All Star board about it being easy to cheat at competitions with crossovers and overaged athletes has got me thinking. When I coached for Pop Warner, we basically had to go through congress to get our kids certified. They were all in a system called League One and their birth certificates had to be stamped at 4 different levels.
Why isn't there something like this for every organization such as USASF or other places like that? I'm sure there were still athletes in football and cheer that weren't in places they should have been, but there's a lot more they had to go through to cheat. At all of our competitions we had to carry around this book that had a card with all the athletes information PLUS a picture of them so we couldn't just substitute whoever we wanted, their birth certificate stamped at our league, conference, and region, sports physical, and report card.
When is USASF going to get on board with something like this? While I don't coach for Pop Warner anymore, I have created a book for my girls in case we are ever questioned at a competition.
