Overview
Pop Warner “Little Scholars”
Pop Warner recognizes and rewards
scholastics. Children who participate in Pop Warner
football/cheer are also participating in a
scholastic program
All participants are required to provide a report
card that covers all terms within the school’s
academic year. The grades from the last quarter are
used to determine whether a child is eligible to
participate in the Athletic Eligibility Program.
Grades from the entire year are used to determine
eligibility in the Scholastic Recognition Program.
1.
Eligibility Program:
A player/cheerleader must have a grade point average
(GPA) of 2.0 or higher to participate in Pop Warner.
To meet this requirement we require a report card
that displays the student’s final quarter grades.
Every report card is reviewed to verify that the
eligibility requirement is met. If a player or
cheerleader has a GPA that is lower than 2.0 or a
report card is unavailable, they can only
participate with approval from an Administrator at
their school, and their parent. In these cases, a
Pop Warner Alternative Scholastic Eligibility Form can be
accepted in lieu of a report card. A student will
then be required to obtain periodic progress reports
as required by National Pop Warner rules.

2.
Recognition Program:
Every year parents and players are asked to complete
a Pop Warner All American Form. This form requests
information about a student’s extracurricular
activities and awards. The form and the full year
report card are then scored. The report card is 85%
of the total score. The All American Form is 15%.
The scholastic form is graded in three areas:
Honors, Extra-Curricular Activities/Community
Involvement and Community Activities.
Based on these final scores scholastic teams are put
together, scholastic First Team (highest scoring),
Second Team, and Third Team.
All players and cheerleaders on a scholastic team
receive an award and are invited to attend a
Regional awards ceremony in January honoring the
student’s scholastic achievement.
In addition, the top scoring players/cheerleaders
scores are sent to National Pop Warner where they
have a chance to win a National Scholastic Award.
For returning National Award Winners who are in the
8th grade and above, there are chances to
win scholarships.
