                                   12 YEARS STRONG

 

The Pembroke Pines Optimist Club joined the American
Youth Football League in 1997.   In 2008 PPO is proud to say
we rank #1 in the AYFL Power Ranking and will continue to
bring the highest level in youth football competition to the City
of Pembroke Pines.   Since 2003, PPO has had over 425
park wins, seventeen Super Bowl teams, three Orange Bowl
Youth Football League teams (2004), and in 2007 our 135lb
team won the state tournament for the FLYAA.  Also, in 2004
PPO set an AYFL record 74 wins and had three teams ranked in
the top ten out of 400+ teams in the Orange Bowl Youth
Football League. Today, PPO has surpassed the 74 wins, with
 an AYFL record 80 wins and counting.  PPO has turned
their program into a youth football program respected and
feared throughout South Florida. With a high level of
coaching, sponsors, great players, and parents, the PPO
Bengals program is a great place to learn discipline and
respect, while having a memorable and rewarding
football experience.   Above is the foundation for 12
 YEARS STRONG.   Bottom left: Jeff Olkinitsky, Super Bowl
