Cheer Spirit and Philosophy
Scripps Ranch Pop Warner’s cheer program is designed to inspire our athletes (ages 5 -14) by teaching them the important values of dedication, teamwork, friendship, leadership and good sportsmanship. We encourage all our athletes to meet each new task with a positive attitude, as well as to believe and trust in themselves and each other.
Our goal is to teach our cheerleaders how to support one another and to encourage their teammates through positive reinforcement and mutual respect for their team, their coaches, and SRPW.
SRPW strives to make Cheerleading a FUN, learning experience with lessons that follow them far beyond the spirit of cheering. Each squad is designed to work as a team representing their fellow football players during the games and to demonstrate their athletic abilities on the field and during competitions. Coaches and volunteers are dedicated individuals who enjoy working with and teaching these young girls while embracing Pop Warner’s National Philosophy of “Academics and Athletics go hand-in-hand”.
We work with the Scripps Ranch High School cheerleaders, who act as trainers and mentors for our teams. We work on team-building with our Big Sis and Little Sis program, fundraising, and supporting our football players.

We kick off the season on August 1st. Flag Cheer will end with a local competition held at the end of October or through the beginning of November depending on bowl games.
Competitive teams, Mitey-Mite, Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Jr. Varsity, and Varsity will cheer at games through the beginning of November and may then continue with a local and regional competition season through the end of January.
