GAME DAYS

All football games are played on Saturdays. Our teams may play at any of the Hill Country Pop Warner game locations. Monroe Stadium at Vandegrift is Four Points Pop Warner’s “home field”. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from all games for their cheerleaders. Coaches will set up a squad communication system for carpooling and any updates. 

 

**We ask that you commit to having your child at all games during the season (baring emergencies and sickness). Cheerleading is a team sport, and the girls work VERY hard on the dances and stunting patterns that rely on each squad member to play their part. Unlike other team sports, we don’t have “back up players” to fill-in if someone is missing. Thank you for your consideration.
