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):

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
