Program Information

The Pop Warner season starts August 1st (when it does not fall on a Sunday). Conditioning practices in August are 4 days a week to allow each cheerleader to get the 20 hours needed to be able to participant in the first game of the season.

Following conditioning, practices will be no more than three nights a week as determined by the coach.

Football games are played on Saturdays. Games start in late August through the end of October with Championship games to follow. There will be a total of 9 games to allow for makeup games due to bad weather. WE DO PRACTICE/PLAY ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND! PLEASE TRY TO PLAN ANY FAMILY VACATIONS ACCORDINGLY.

Athletes will be placed on a team based on age, experience, and the number of participants. Team placement is the responsibility of the cheer commissioner. Requests may be made, but please know nothing can be guaranteed. Team formations are based on the number of participants registered and the ages of those registered. There are no try-outs.
