Thank you for your interest in the Fall 2026 Recreational Pop Warner Cheer Program.

 

Our program is a community cheer and dance program open to girls and boys, ages 3-16, living anywhere in Palm Beach and Martin Counties. 

 

Our season runs from July 15th to mid-December. Our teams will cheer for 8 regular football games; typically 4 of these games are away and 4 games are home. Additionally, all teams will compete at a local competition. If they are one of the top-scoring teams at the local competition, they will advance to a regional competition in Orlando, Thanksgiving week/weekend, at the Silver Spurs Arena! For the highest scoring teams at the regional competition, there is the opportunity to perform on a national level at the All Out competition in Charlotte, NC.

 

In order to continue to compete at a national level, practices are MANDATORY, barring emergencies. The practice schedule, starting in July, is ten (10) hours weekly, all the way to Labor Day. After Labor Day, practices are six (6) hours weekly, with a game on Saturday. Practices are around two (2) hours in the evening. Practices are typically held at Abacoa Community Park; in the event of rain, we will relocate to an indoor facility. 

 

Cheerleading is a team sport. Competition routines include dance choreography, formations and stunts. Absences greatly affect the overall performance of the entire squad. If a team member is missing, routines (especially stunts) cannot be practiced or performed. In competition situations, if a team member is missing, the entire routine must be redone at the last minute, which harms the entire team. We ask everyone participating to make a commitment to attend all practices and performances. If you know in advance that you cannot guarantee attendance with the above-mentioned schedule in mind, we ask that you refrain from registering with the needs of the team in mind. 

 

Uniform fittings happen PRIOR to July 15th. Your athlete will need to be available for uniform fitting during the month of May/June. If you register after May, we will need to schedule a fitting as soon as possible. Do not put off being fitted or you may be cheering at games without your uniform.

 

The registration cost is $150 this season for all divisions. There are additional costs to expect throughout the season. These costs include, but are not limited to:

 

Uniform Security Deposits - $350 (note that a deposit check is required for this; it will be held uncashed and returned to you at the end of season upon receipt of a returned clean uniform.)

Uniform Cleaning Fee - $50 Non-Refundable (this is charged at registration)

Competition Cheer Bows (set of 3) - Estimated $40 (this is charged at registration)

Competition Cheer Shoes - Estimated $86 (this is charged at registration)

Competition Tickets for spectators only - Estimated $15-$25

Regional Hotel Cost (Competitive Teams Only) Estimated $112 per night

Regional Competition Tickets - Estimated $20-$25

National Hotel Cost (Competitive Teams Only) Estimated $350-400 per night

National Competition Tickets - Estimated $20-$30

 

For the cheer bows, cheer shoes, and cleaning fee, you will be charged $175 total upon registration. Please note that this portion cannot be divided up into the monthly payment options. We apologize for any inconvenience.

 

The Jr. Tiny-Mite division is for 3- and 4-year olds. Additionally, the Varsity division (Ages 15, 16, 17) is for High School-age cheerleaders who want to continue to participate (compete) in Pop Warner. This team will compete in all competitions like the other teams. Varsity will not cheer football games; instead, they will only compete in Locals, Regionals, and Nationals.  

 

Locals will be sometime in October in our area. This is a one-day competition. Regionals will take place sometime during Thanksgiving week or weekend. When making a decision about what team your daughter should cheer on, please do not consider this team if you have made plans to go away for the Thanksgiving holiday. This competition is in Orlando and the team will have to be at the hotel the day before the competition. This is an overnight competition. Nationals will take place either the first or second week in December. Nationals will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina this year.

Thank you for your interest in 2026 Fall Recreational Pop Warner Tackle Football. We are approaching our favorite time of the year!! 

Please read the following information prior to registering your player(s).

Tackle football is open to boys and girls ages 5-14. The regular season runs from July 15th - November 1st. Following the regular season there will likely be playoff games for each team (based on season performance) and a possible regional and national championship game. Football practice starts July 15th, 2026. During the months of July and August, practices are 10 hours per week until Labor Day (practice exceptions may be made for the 5-6 year old team). We highly recommend players work during the summer on conditioning so that the month of July is less of a shock to the player in the dead heat of summer. After Labor Day, practices will be no more than 6 hours per week. Each head coach will determine the practice nights for their team. There will be 8 games in the regular season (typically 4 home and 4 away). Each team has a team parent to assist the coach throughout the season.

The JTAA Tackle Football divisions are based on the child's age as of the last day in July of the current year (7/31/26 for this year). This year, teams will be based on student's age only, weight will not be a factor:

Division Date of Birth Ranges

6U (ages 5-6) = 8/1/2019 to 7/31/2021

8U (ages 7-8) = 8/1/2017 to 7/31/2019

9U (ages 8-9) = 8/1/2016 to 7/31/2017

10U (ages 9-10) = -8/1/2015 to 7/31/2016

11U (ages 10-11) = 8/1/2014 to 7/31/2015

12U (ages 11-12) = 8/1/2013 to 7/31/2014

13U (ages 12-13) = 8/1/2012 to 7/31/2013

14U (ages 13-14) = 8/1/2011 to 7/31/2012

The 2026 registration fee is $150 for all divisions. This registration fee includes team instruction, the use of football pads (to be returned at end of season), football helmet (to be returned at end of season), practice jersey (to be kept by player) and game jersey (to be returned at end of season). Parents will be required to provide BLACK football game pants (any brand is fine), socks, mouthpiece and cleats. There will be a deposit check required at equipment hand out for equipment and game jersey, this deposit check will be returned to the parent at the end of the season when equipment is returned undamaged (normal wear accepted which will be determined by board member). If you have registration questions prior to or after registering, please feel free to email [email protected]
