The paperwork and documentation required by Pop Warner is extensive, but this ensures that all teams are in compliance with the rules and policies set by Pop Warner National. 

The following documents are required before your athlete will be cleared to practice. 

2025 Paperwork:

2025 PLAYER/PARTICIPANT CONTRACT -This should be electronically signed during the registration process. 

2025 PHYSICAL/MEDICAL RELEASE FORM - This should be electronically signed during the registration process. Please note: Pop Warner no longer requires a physical form or a doctor's signature. Medical questions, including insurance policy information, date of last tetanus booster, concussion info and more are included in the registration questions. These must be answered properly for your child to participate. 

REPORT CARD (2 Hard Copies needed)
Our Fall 2025 athlete's will need to provide two copies of the 2024-2025 Final Report Card when it becomes available this summer.

The following information must be shown on the report card:
- School Name
- Participant's Name
- School Year
- Student's Grade Level (e.g. 1st Grade, 4th Grade, etc.)
- All 4 academic quarters or 2 semesters.

Kindergarten students are exempt from the scholastic requirement.
Home schooled? Submit the 2025 Home School Form found here. 

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Pop Warner requires that we must verify all participant birth certificates. Barrington Pop Warner athletes must have the original or a certified copy (with raised seal) to look at--photocopies will NOT be allowed. Once your athlete's birth certificate is on file, you will not have to provide it again for future seasons. 

Returning Athletes: We have your birth certificate on file, so this document is not required for registration.
