Our cheer program is a member of the Pop Warner Association.  This is so our girls compete and can have more opportunities. With these, we have 2 sets of rules we need to follow in order for us to still cheer at Carver’s football games.

All athletes must be fully registered in order to begin participating

Parental Consent
The National Participant Contract and Parental Waiver form needs to be completed by either parent or the legal guardian, stating that the child has his or her permission to play, cheer or dance.

Medical Examination
A signed form from a Licensed State Medical Practitioner dated after January 1st of the current year/season; that the athlete is physically fit and there are no observable conditions which would prevent them from participating in cheerleading . Note: All physicals must be after January 1st 2022.

Proof of Age
A certified copy of the birth certificate on file bearing the seal of the issuing office of the state of birth is the best guarantee of reliability of claimed date of birth and is form of proof most recommended. Passports are also reliable. Military ID cards are acceptable. Certified wallet-size certificates issued by a state or commonwealth are acceptable. Any other alleged “proof of birth date,” including photo copies of “originals,” are to be accepted only upon the willingness of the team administration to have its schedule forfeited should fraudulent application later be determined. PWLS does not mandate retaining the originals but verifying them.

Scholastics Fitness
Proof of satisfactory progress in school is required. 70% shall be the minimum grade point average acceptable to participate. In cases of doubt, conflict of opinion, or if a valid report card is not submitted, the nationally published scholastic eligibility form shall be used and deemed final.

NOTE: Like all rules herein this rule as it relates to scholastic grades may not be made more stringent by any team, association, or league, as other rules may be. No local team may be allowed to participate in Regional/National sponsored championships if it has not met the nationally published scholastic requirements and may be subject to other penalties.
