I agree that all coaches will complete USA Football (Heads Up) or YCADA certification prior to the start of the 2027 season, in accordance with Pop Warner national standards.

EIN / Tax ID (Optional — if operating under your own 501(c)(3))

Non-Profit Status & IRS Designation

Utah State Pop Warner Conference holds its own non-profit IRS designation, and all chartered local associations operate under that umbrella. You are not required to have a separate EIN to apply.

However, each association is expected to pursue its own 501(c)(3) designation as it grows and establishes independent operations. If your association already has its own EIN, please enter it below.

Fields marked with * are required. We will contact you within 5–7 business days.
