OWYAA Pop Warner Spirit teams have participated for several decades on the football sidelines.
The program offers teams a wide range of opportunity for young athletes at all skill levels: PW1, PW2, PW3, and PW4.
OWYAA as a Pop Warner organization has established one set of spirit rules along with JAMZ, the Pop Warner Education Development Partner and the original developer of the Youth Cheer and Dance Alliance (YCADA).
Together with YCADA, Pop Warner is able to provide online educational courses for its coaches, administrators and judges on team skill levels for Cheer Teams.
With continued education, the OWYAA Coaching Staff provides basic instruction, training and conditioning for both football games and competition.
Teams participate on the sidelines at football games for home and most away games. In addition to Game Day, teams participate in qualifying spirit events (League and Region) through to a Pop Warner National Championship.
The Pop Warner National Cheer Championships are held in December located in ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Kissimmee, Florida. OWYAA Cheer has been to Florida in 2014, 2015, 2016, & 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021 for back to back championships.
