Kids compete with kids of similar age and size. Pop Warner is the ONLY youth football program (local, regional and national) that sets and enforces a strict Age & Weight Matrix that reduces the risk and reality of injuries.

 

As a general rule, Liberty Pop Warner will assign players to the "lowest" division available based on their age/weight.

 

Division                            Age on July 31                            First GameMin/Max Limits*                             End of Season Weight

Mitey-Mite                       7 - 9                                              45 - 100* lbs                                                       104 lbs

 

 

Junior PeeWee                8 - 10                                            60 - 115* lbs                                                       119 lbs

PeeWee                           9 - 11                                            75 - 130* lbs                                                         134 lbs

Older Lighter                 12                                                  75 - 110* lbs                                                         114 lbs

 

 

Junior Varsity                10 - 12                                           90 - 155* lbs                                                         159 lbs

Older Lighter                13                                                   90 - 135* lbs                                                         139 lbs

​

*In season weekly weight increases of 1 lb. on week 2, 4, 6, and 8 (Maximum of 4 lbs). Additional 1 lb at Super Bowl.

 

This is the maximum allowable weight (stripped down/minus equipment) for the first game of the season. After the first game there is a weight increase allowance of 1 lb. per week up to a maximum of 4 lbs for the season.

 

For example, if a Mitey-Mite player weighs 90 lbs for the first game they may weigh 94 lbs for the 10th game of the season.

 

Our teams in Junior PeeWee and up are further broken down into D1, D2 or D3T and D3NT designations. There are separate regular season schedules and playoffs for each division, howwever there may be some "crossover" games. 

 

All D1, D2, D3T and D3NT teams are eligible for playoff and post-season play through separate brackets (league, state, sub-regional and regional playoff games), however D1, D2 and D3T teams may play past regionals to the National Championship game in Florida. All Liberty teams are D3NT teams, unless otherwise requested by the Head Coach and approved by the Liberty Pop Warner Board of Directors. 

 

Regional Pop Warner is also offering a Fall Flag division and a unlimited weight division.  Contact us for more info if your interete din these divisions.
