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. These forms will need to be fully signed and completed and uploaded to your athletes account. Please DO NOT throw out the hard copy - we will need those on file. 

To upload documents to your players account: 
- Go to your dashboard where it lists your children enrolled 
- Click on the pencil icon next to your Childs name 
- Scroll down until you see the 4 forms below 

- Upload your completed documents to each spot. Note that BPW staff will handle upload of Birth Certificates.

You will need to have a Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (PPE) aka "Sports Physical" provided by a Licensed State Examiner (e.g. medical doctor, nurse practitioner, etc.). You can likely obtain a physical from your athlete's primary care physician. There are also numerous other clinics that can provide this service for you like a walk-in.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE *Note that BPW staff will load BC's to your Childs account. Please only upload the above documents, we will handle this one! (Hard copy only needed)

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.
