Part of planning for the 2020 season also includes planning for our championship week. While Walt Disney World has been a tremendous host of our Pop Warner Super Bowl and National Cheer & Dance Championships for more than 60 years and we hope to continue that partnership for many more years to come, the pandemic is forcing us to find an alternative destination for 2020.
COVID-19 struck as we were putting the final touches on our new agreement and it became necessary to shift our focus to the pressing issue of whether Disney could host a championship week this year. Considering all the uncertainty around the pandemic, that possibility became increasingly unlikely. While our Return to Play will continue to be guided by the medical experts, we are fully planning on hosting national championships this year. As a result, we are moving to finalize arrangements on a new location in Florida for our 2020 championships and will keep you updated throughout the process.
We can't wait to be together once again and embark on a Return to Play program that includes a season and a great Super Bowl and National Championship Week.
