The District waiver must be signed from another Association to guarantee a spot on the selected division.

accepted for that division. No waiting lists are allowed (OPW Rule).
4. The Head Football and Cheerleading Coaches are responsible for all players and cheerleaders on the field. Please be
prompt when picking up your child at the end of practice. Any time a player or cheerleader is left with a coach,

during the season, the player/cheerleader will not be allowed to practice or play until a Scholastic Eligibility Form
is filled out and submitted. Scholastic Eligibility Form will be signed by a school administrator stating that the
child will benefit from participating in the Pop Warner Program. The form allows us to monitor the progress of
the child so that they maintain a minimum standard and understand the value of academics in conjunction with
