Cheerleading
The mission of Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. is to enable children to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment. Through this active participation, Pop Warner programs teach fundamental values, skills and knowledge that children will use throughout their lives.
Cheerleading was officially recognized in the 1970′s, but has been a part of the Pop Warner program for several decades. The first ever National Cheerleading competition was held in DeKalb County, GA. Today, 160,000 children are participating in cheer leading and dance around the United States.
Participation in the Pop Warner Spirit Program provides kids an opportunity to perform in an organized, supervised, safety-oriented environment. Pop Warner programs emphasize fun for all and encourage the development of qualities important long after Pop Warner days are gone.
The Spirit Program is growing in numbers each year due to the popularity of the sport. In an effort to keep pace with the many new changes in the cheer & dance industry, there are a few basic rules that are unique to Pop Warner Spirit Squads- There are no Try Outs, Girls and Boys ages 5-15 years old.
- Traditional Teams
- Year Round Teams

Please note: Assistant coaches, team moms and teen trainers are chosen by the team head coaches and turned in to the Directors of Cheer and Football for approval on a YEAR to YEAR basis and will be announced as the season gets closer.
If you are a trainer, team mom or assistant coach from any of the teams last year, and wish to return, please contact the current team head coach with your intent as soon as possible. Assistant Coaches, Team Moms and Teen Trainers are not automatically placed back on the same teams simply because you were there last year. You must let the CURRENT head coach know you are interested!
The cheer program is actively looking for assistant coach volunteers for Midget and Jr. Pee Wee.
