**A player's age is based on their age on July 31 as this will his/her age for the season.
*All seven (7)-year old players will be placed into the 7U Division.


We plan to field as many teams as possible each year, but we are limited by the number of volunteer coaches, the number of players who sign up as well as the Pop Warner administrative deadlines required to certify each team.  Once we reach our maximum capacity for each level of play, we are regrettably forced to create waiting lists or turn players away.

To successfully register for football, parents must complete the steps below.  Please pay attention to the specific instructions for each step.  Your child will not be allowed to participate in our program until registration is 100% correct and complete.  Getting all the forms submitted with the correct information can mean the difference between getting your child successfully registered and being disqualified from participating altogether.

Due to the amount of paperwork involved with Pop Warner it is very important that you take time to read the bullet points below to make sure all required documents are completed (signed and legible).   

You can find all of the documents under the forms tab, fill them out, print & sign.

  • Pop Warner Participant Contract and Parental Consent Form*
  • Pop Warner Physical Fitness and Medical History Form*

  • Equipment Deposit Check $175.00 (we hold it as a security deposit)*

*These forms must be submitted by July 31, 2024.

# A copy of the birth certificate can be used to register your child.  However, if your child's team makes the playoffs, a certified copy is required or your child is ineligible
