Football & Cheer Programs
Our football and cheer season officially begins on August 1st by national rule. Practices will begin August 2nd, 2021 at 5:00pm at the Half Moon Bay High School Baseball field. Practices are five (5) days a week starting August 2nd-13th. Practices are then reduced to three (3) days a week for the rest of the season. Practice times are 5:00-7:00 p.m. Practices are held on weekday evenings. Dates and times are subject to change as needed to accommodate use of practice facilities or game schedules. Each Head Coach will have his or her own requirements for practices and participation in games, as well as having to follow league rules.
Mandatory Conditioning Football & Cheer
Conditioning is a crucial part to be successful on the field. Conditioning prepares players physically and mentally to perform at their top peak on the football field which is always important to be successful as a team.
All football players must complete conditioning prior to receiving equipment or be allowed to participate in contact.
All cheer participants must complete conditioning practice before engaging in any stunts.
Pop Warner Certification Football & Cheer
A participant is not part of a team roster until they are officially certified by Bay Area Youth Football & Cheer Pop Warner. All participants must attend a mandatory certification day (location TBD) to be a certified as a player on a Pop Warner Football & Cheer Team. (There may be a cost for parking at this event). Any participant who misses certification, may not be able to compete in the season. No registration refunds will be given for missed certification.
The Football & Cheer Season
The Pop Warner Football & Cheer Season is kicked-off with a game that's played on the Sunday following Certification Day. There are eight (8) games in the regular season. The official game schedule for the season will not be released until after Certification Day, and subject to changes during the season. The cheer competition schedule has not been released yet.
