Boca Braves Tackle Football Pop Warner Age-Weight Requirements Everyone Can Play

Age and Weight Requirements SHOULD determine playing divisions in youth tackle football.

With 425,000 young people, ranging from the ages of 5-16, participating in football and cheer, Pop Warner Little Scholars has established comprehensive age and weight limits that maximizes the enjoyment for all. We used the National Center for Health Statistics growth chart to illustrate the options for a player to play in based on age, weight and skill. This allows the league to place a player in the appropriate division where they can positively contribute to the team and enjoy learning and playing the game.
