Congratulations to our Winners!

It's not often that a youth sports team gets a visit from a professional athlete, let alone an NFL MVP! But on May 11th in Saratoga, California, the West Valley Tiny Mite Falcons got just that.

The players spent two hours on the field with star running back and Weplay Pro, Shaun Alexander. The former Seattle Seahawks great is a three time Pro Bowler and 2005 NFL MVP. The Falcons lead by veteran Pop Warner coach Rusty Cumpston, won the grand prize.

“Shaun was a huge hit today. This was a one of a kind opportunity and the memories will last a long, long time.”

"Shaun was a huge hit today," Coach Rusty said. "This was a one of a kind opportunity and the memories will last a long, long time. Thanks to Weplay for this honor and for providing a terrific way for teams and organizations to connect, stay current and enable us to achieve an even greater experience with youth sports."

The Falcons won the contest by exemplifying the best traits of a committed and active Pop Warner team on Weplay. Five groups also won runners-up awards of $1,000 scholarships.

At the end of the day Shaun's message was clear. He encouraged the young players to develop character and skills both on and off the field. "And if we ever saw our friends not playing hard, we'd encourage them to step it up. Can you all say that with me?" "STEP IT UP!" chanted the kids rising to their feet.

Thanks to Shaun, the West Valley Tiny Mite Falcons and everyone who entered!
