Player Placement

Participants should register for a team with a priorities on safety, experience, and enjoyment. It is not recommended to move to older age groups unless the participant has the appropriate mental and physical maturity. The Cheer Athletic Director will work with the head coaches for each level to build each roster. While BOYFL will do its best to place participants according to their wishes, BOYFL retains the final decision on roster placement.

Cheerleaders who require a full uniform will receive the following from BOYFL

Vest Body Liner
Skirt Warm-Ups Briefs
1 set Socks
1 set Shoes
Practice Clothes
1 set T-Shirt & Shorts
Cheer Bag
Hair Bow
Hair Ribbon

Returning cheerleaders may purchase only those items they need. A set of poms may need to be purchased if the head coach decides to use them in the routine.

Cheer Practice

Cheer practice is an important part of league participation and is required. Practice is 5 days a week prior to our first game, and 3 days a week after the season starts. Pop Warner rules require that each player complete 20 hours of physical conditioning prior to participating in any stunting. Further information is on the Additional Info page. Due to the mandatory player rule we do not have the option of benching players, so our only alternative is to suspend and/or expel players who fail to attend practice.

Code Of Conduct

Every participant is expected to exhibit the highest levels of good sportsmanship. Coaches, teammates, officials, and opponents must be treated with the utmost respect.  Pop Warner Player/Parent Code of Conduct outlines the expectations for all of our athletes.
