Cheer Levels and Skills

In Pop Warner we do not hold try-outs. Teams are organized by age level. Each player learns and develops skills at their own time and pace. Teams are assigned a skill level at the beginning of their season based on the skills that team possesses. No experience is necessary! All teams will learn, sideline cheers, stunting, tumbling, jumps and choreographed dance to be combined into a competition routine.
