Scholastic Requirements
Cypress Pop Warner Football & Cheerleading is part of the national Pop Warner Little Scholars organization. The program's philosophy is that academics and athletics go hand in hand. Cypress Pop Warner is required to submit academic information on each participant and each team. The national office uses this information to determine academic eligibility for the program and to award academic honors and scholarships.

We must have grades from the entire 2008-2009 school year for each participant (except those who have not started school yet). If the participant changed schools during the year, then grades from each school attended must be provided. We have to have grades for the entire school year.

If the participant was home schooled, you must provide a letter on letterhead that has the name of the home school as registered with the State (you can create this letterhead). The letter should include a one-line statement saying who teaches the child and that the instructor is certified by California to home school and another statement about the child's academic performance (provide a grade for each subject taught).

Participants who do not meet the minimum academic standards of a 2.0 average must have a written statement from the school administration giving permission for that youth to participate in Cypress Pop Warner.
