POP WARNER SCHOLASTICS PROGRAM
Pop Warner was founded in 1929 and is the only youth football, cheerleading & dance organization that requires its participants to maintain academic standards in order to participate. Pop Warner's commitment to academics is what separates the program from other youth sports around the world. Each year, the most academically accomplished Pop Warner kids compete for Academic All-American status. This process begins at the association level and up through each of the eight Pop Warner regions to the national level.
In 2018, over 325,000 kids participated in Pop Warner. In that same year, 280+ First Team members, over 3,500 Second Team members and 2,000+ Honorable Mention scholars were named as Academic All-Americans at the National Level for 2017-2018.
The PWLS All-American Program requires a minimum 96% grade point average to apply for All-American status.
After the applications have been processed, Pop Warner determines National First Team All-Americans (35 football, 35 cheer per grade), National Second Team All-Americans & National Honorable Mention Scholars.
