>> Pop Warner National Championship Overview:

Each year, Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. hosts the Pop Warner Super Bowl and National Cheer and Dance Championships. For the past 12 years, the event has taken place at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex ™ in Lake Buena Vista, FL during the second week of December.

The Pop Warner Football Championships (referred to as the Pop Warner Super Bowl) are divided into teams competing in Division I and Division II. 64 football teams compete for National Championships in 4 different age/weight ranges (Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Jr. Midget & Midget).

For Division I Football, an outright national champion is crowned in all four age/weight divisions (Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Jr. Midget & Midget). Winners of the opening round games on Sunday move on to the semifinals on Wednesday, while the losing teams will play in consolation games.

For Division II Football, there will be co-national champions in two of the four age/weight divisions (Jr. Pee Wee & Pee Wee have an outright national champion). Teams in the other those age/weight divisions that win both of their games will be crowned either the Tomlin Champion or the Warner Champion. Both of these teams are the co-national champions in their respective divisions.

In order to advance to the Pop Warner Super Bowl, a team must win its respective League Championship as well as the Regional Championship. Each advancing team is guaranteed to play two games at the Super Bowl, with a Tomlin and Warner Champion being crowned in each age-weight division and competition level.

The Cheer & Dance championships feature over 500 cheer/dance squads who compete at the five-day long event. Competitions take place at the Milk House at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex ™.

Cheer & Dance Squads compete in 4 different age ranges (Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee, Jr. Midget & Midget), as well as two squad sizes (Small and Large) and three competition categories (Novice, Intermediate and Advanced).
