It’s football season in Warwick

It’s officially football season for Warwick PAL, whose teams began practice earlier this month. PAL has 175 players this season and its teams will begin play with a full slate of games on Sept. 1 in Coventry.

The Warwick PAL Junior Pee Wee football team coached by Jesse Babcock has been selected to play during halftime at the New England Patriots’ preseason game on Aug. 29 at Gillette Stadium. The team, pictured here during practice Tuesday evening at Gorton, will perform six “scripted” plays against an opposing team, which is yet to be named. The opposing team will then get to run six plays for a total of an 8-minute game. With Babcock are assistant coaches Nate Soares and Johnny Jeremy.
