In August and up until the first day of Metuchen public schools, all teams practice outside on the field at Edgar School.   Once school starts football moves over to Myrtle and Charles fields under the lights. Practice schedules and locations are given out to each team once the season starts.    

During August, teams in both football and cheer will practice 4 days/8 hours total the first week, from 6-8pm, Monday through Thursday. Younger football teams will usually practice three days a week.  After school starts, no teams will practice more than 3 days a week. The specific schedule is left to the discretion of the football and cheer directors.

The football schedule consists of 8 regular season games played mainly on Sundays (there could also be 1 or 2 Saturday afternoon/night games depending on Holidays or where Metuchen is scheduled to play).  Game times start with the youngest kids (9:00am) and end with the oldest kids. Metuchen Pop Warner plays 4 home games at Edgar School and 4 games away within the towns from the Jersey Valley Conference. 

Placement on football teams depends on age.  The Football Commissioner will have the final say on all placements. Teams in the Junior Pee Wee division and older are eligible to compete in post-season competition based on their win/loss record. Post-season competition may include regional championships and Bowl games which can run through Thanksgiving. Cheerleaders are required to accompany their teams to these events.
