Pop Warner Cheer & Dance
Pop Warner cheerleading uses age-based divisions, typically determined by the participant's age as of July 31st of the current year (moving to July 15th in 2026). Divisions range from Tiny Mite (ages 5-7) up to Varsity (ages 12-16), ensuring participants cheer with peers of similar development levels

Pop Warner Cheer Age Divisions (Commonly 2026/2027):

Tiny Mite (TM): Ages 5-6-7 (approx. 7/15/18 – 7/14/21 for 2026 season)
Mitey Mite (MM): Ages 7-8-9
Jr. Pee Wee (JPW): Ages 8-9-10-11
Pee Wee (PW): Ages 9-10-11-12
Jr. Varsity (JV): Ages 10-11-12-13-14
Varsity (V): Ages 12-13-14-15-16

Key Age-Based Rules:

Age Cutoff: The age of the participant on July 31st (or July 15th from 2026) is their age for the entire season.
Team Association: Squads are generally rostered and certified in the same age division as the football team they support, or as a stand-alone cheer/dance team.
Exceptions: In some regions, "older but lighter" rules may apply to last-year participants.
Competition: Teams can advance to Regional/National Championships in divisions from Tiny Mite to Varsity/Bantam
