Our program goal is to develop character and confidence in children through competition in youth football and cheerleading by fostering the life lessons inherent in the game, while emphasizing academics and community involvement.
The Weston Warriors Youth Tackle Football & Cheerleading Program was established in 1995. As a pioneer member of the American Youth Football League (AYFL). In the Warriors later joined Pop Warner in 2017 for five years, transitioned to the South Florida NYFL in 2022, and returned to Pop Warner in 2024 within the Greater Miami South Florida Chapter (ww.popwarner.com).
The information below is typical and subject to change.
Football divisions range from ages 5–14, and Cheerleading from ages 5–15 (age as of July 14). Pre-season evening conditioning is included with registration—May through July for football and June through July for cheer. Regular season practices (with equipment for football) begin July 15. A separate summer football camp is also offered in the mornings, for a separate fee. Football teams typically practice four days per week (6U: 2–3 days), while cheer practices are held Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at Tequesta Trace Park.
Games begin around August and run for 9 weeks through mid-October. Most games are played on Saturdays, with approximately half at home (Tequesta Trace Park) and others in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Qualifying football teams advance through playoffs, with League Championships held in late October or early November. Champions continue to Regional Playoffs in November, with Regional Championships over Thanksgiving weekend in Orlando. Regional winners may compete for a National Championship in early December in Charlotte, NC.
Cheerleaders compete locally in October, with opportunities to advance to Regional Competition over Thanksgiving weekend and Nationals in early December in Charlotte, NC.
We are proud to be the only official track program in the City of Weston since 2023. Registration opens in early December for ages 6-18, with the season running from early January through the Orange Bowl GLYTAF Invitational (late April/early May). Athletes who qualify at this meet may advance without additional program registration fees. AAU registration is required for participation in meets and is not included in the program fee. While participation in meets is optional, athletes must register and pay the applicable fee for each meet they attend. Uniforms are sold separately and are required for competition.
We promote sportsmanship and a strong family atmosphere. We encourage all families to support our youth athletes by volunteering and attending as many events as possible.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Warriors Family!
Let’s GO Warriors! 🏈📣🏃
