Pop Warner Age and Weight Matrix

The following divisions are set by national Pop Warner rules, and are used by BBMU to determine a child’s placement on football team or cheer squad.  A child's age on July 31 is his/her age for the season.

*The asterisked (*) provisions in each division are for those leagues/associations that carry “older but lighter” football players. The age of the spirit participant may match the age of the football players in that same division. (i.e., if the league permits a football player to be a 13 year old, older-lighter junior midget, then the spirit squad may also sign-up a 13 year old participant on the corresponding cheer/dance squad.) The spirit participant is matched in age only, weights do not apply.
