About Utah State Pop Warner
Building champions on and off the field since our founding. Utah State Pop Warner is dedicated to developing young athletes through football, cheer, and dance in a safe, structured, and values-driven environment.
Our Mission
Utah State Pop Warner exists to provide youth in Utah with the opportunity to participate in organized football, cheer, and dance programs that emphasize academic achievement, physical fitness, and character development. We believe every child deserves a safe place to grow, compete, and belong.
Safety First
Every decision we make starts with the safety and well-being of our athletes. We follow the strictest Pop Warner safety protocols at every level.
Academic Excellence
Pop Warner requires all participants to maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA. We believe student-athletes succeed in the classroom and on the field.
Character Development
We teach respect, discipline, teamwork, and perseverance — values that carry our athletes far beyond the playing field.
Inclusive Community
Every child, regardless of background or ability, is welcome in our program. The Challenger division ensures no athlete is left behind.
