ASC Pop Warner Cheer program provides an opportunity for kids 5-14 years old to perform with an emphasis of fun for all while encouraging the development of qualities important long after Pop Warner days are gone. The mission of Pop Warner little scholars is to enable young people to benefit from the participation in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment. Through this active participation, ASC Pop Warner Cheer programs teach fundamental values, skills and knowledge that young people will use throughout their lives.

The participants in the Pop Warner Cheer program are unique as opposed to those of other programs. While they are taught about the values of competition, they are also maintaining their grades at a satisfactory level in order to participate and possibly attain the ultimate prize of being named a Pop Warner National Champion. 

The ASCPW Cheer 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 Cheer Squads that parents should be aware of.  Please refer to the Official Pop Warner Rulebook.
