Welcome to Scripps Ranch Pop Warner! We are excited that your athlete is interested in joining the Falcon Family. Our staff of volunteers will do all we can to provide your family the information and support you need to become a member of one of our SRPW teams. Whether your child is a first time player or a seasoned veteran, we hope you will enjoy your experience with our organization.
We are eligible to field teams for 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U. We are planning on fielding more teams this year and will do our best to place you athlete in the most age appropriate team. Your player’s age as of 07/31/2024 determines which age/division they are eligible for. These divisions are subject to change based on final determination based on registration numbers across all organizations.
Scripps Ranch Pop Warner exists to use football, cheerleading, and a respect for education to develop strong, smart, responsible, healthy athletes. We give them experiences that build their appreciation for and understanding of leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
On fields across America, Pop Warner is making our game safer and better, while retaining what makes the sport of football so great for young people. And we’re doing the same for our young athletes in cheer and dance.
We've instituted the nation's most advanced safety measures, including limiting contact to 25% of practice time, eliminating kickoffs and the three-point stance for our youngest divisions, banning full-speed, head-on tackling and blocking drills and mandating that any player who suffers a suspected head injury receive medical clearance from a medical professional trained in concussion evaluation and management before returning to play.
In addition, all Pop Warner coaches are given the tools they need to teach the game the right way. USA Football’s Heads Up Football training is mandatory for all Pop Warner coaches. Similarly, we require our cheer coaches take the YCADA training. And we’re guided by an independent Medical Advisory Committee of neurosurgeons, sports medicine professionals, pediatricians and researchers who are driven by medical science and professional expertise.
Scripps Ranch Pop Warner only recognizes the athletic accomplishments of the team, not the individual. We don't track personal tallies of touchdowns or yards rushing per game. We don't count sacks or blocked kicks. We applaud the athletic efforts of the team to reinforce the importance of teamwork, with each member.
We don't try to build stars. We don't want to over-inflate a young ego, nor do we want to risk injuring the self-esteem of a young person. Whether our kids have good days or bad, they are still an integral part of our team…and always will be.
