SETTING UP YOUR LEAGUE ACCOUNT

Setting up your LEAGUE Account with JDP can be done in 2 easy steps:
 
STEP 1: Sign-up for a JDP LEAGUE account here

STEP 2: Once your account has been created by JDP, you will receive a welcome email, including User Guide and other documentation.

Please note that when signing up for the first time, if all of documents received are completed correctly, it will only take up to 2 business days to set up your account.  You can start screening immediately thereafter. However, please plan accordingly and leave yourself enough time to perform the checks prior to the start of the season.

Once all background checks are completed, leagues must sign and file the current annual League Affidavit of Compliance found on the Pop Warner website affidavits with the National Office.  The Association Affidavit should be sent to and retained by the League. Any association affidavits received by national will be returned to the league.  The Deadline for receipt of league affidavits at the National Office is October 1, 2024.  We can accept either a fax or e-mail as long as it is legally signed by the League Official.
