Football and cheer practice will begin the first week of August. Practice is limited to ten hours per week prior to Labor Day, after which practice is limited to six hours per week for football and four hours per week for cheer. Ten hours of conditioning must be completed prior to full contact drills. Coaches determine practice dates and time for each team. Cheerleaders sometimes practice indoors at a school or church close to the practice field.

The Chicagoland Pop Warner Football Conference (CPWFC) season typically kicks off in late August and includes eight regular season games, followed by playoffs at the Junior Pee Wee level and higher.

Games are played on Saturday or Sunday at varying times. Home games are played at the Naperville North Varsity Field. Away games are throughout the Chicagoland area.

Pop Warner National Championships for football and cheer are held in December at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.

See the Pop Warner National site.

The Naperville Chargers are part of the Pop Warner youth football and cheerleading organization. Locally, our program participates in the Chicagoland Pop Warner Football Conference (CPWFC).

The Pop Warner program focuses on football, cheerleading, scholastics, and community activities. Children must maintain a 2.0 GPA to participate throughout the season. They learn about community involvement, such as fundraising and volunteering for our annual Chargers Tackling Cancer event.

All coach and team manager volunteers must pass an independent background check and adhere to policies established by our program. We use trainers and local high school & college players & coaches at various times throughout the season to teach the kids and coaches the latest in conditioning, fundamentals, and strategy.

If you have any concerns, please talk to your child's coach and/or team manager. Follow up with the President if necessary.
