ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

Southwest Austin Pop Warner (SWAPW) is a non-profit organization that provides youth football and cheer programs for children ages 5-12 years old in southwest Austin and surrounding areas. SWAPW is associated with the Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. organization nationally and is a member of Hill Country Pop Warner locally. Our program is designed to provide an atmosphere that emphasizes safety, academics, fun, teamwork, leadership, and pride.

Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. is the largest youth football, cheer and dance program in the world. Founded in 1929, Pop Warner continues to grow and serve as the only youth football, cheerleading 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.

Pop Warner’s philosophy has been that athletics and scholastics go hand in hand. At every level, Pop Warner programs seek to develop well-rounded young men and women who learn not only the fundamentals of football and cheerleading, but also the importance of education in an atmosphere conducive to developing sound character while having a good time.

2. Enforcement of age and weight classification
