Challenger Program Information
CHALLENGER FLAG FOOTBALL & CHEE
R
Palomar Stars Challenger Division
The mission of the Challenger Division is to bring the Pop Warner experience to special needs individuals in our community as Players or Cheerleaders.
Pop Warner’s overall goals are to enable young people to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe, structured environment providing an opportunity for everyone to participate in the great game of football.
The program stresses learning lessons of value far beyond the playing or spirit days of those involved, such as; self-discipline, teamwork, concentration, friendship, leadership, and sportsmanship.
Games are modeled after a typical Pop Warner game with referees, warm-ups, coin toss, national anthem etc. Teams are allowed one game per week and no score is kept. Teams play two 25 minute half’s with a running clock on a standard 100 yard field or programs may opt to use a 50 yard field. Teams must roster a minimum of 10 players but no more than 28 where all players receive an equal number of plays. One Coach is permitted on the field at all times. Team helpers are allowed on the field and must be a minimum of 13 years of age to assist participants. Challenger Division follows Pop Warner Flag Football Rules with modifications.
