Tarpon Springs Junior Spongers

The 2026 Season Schedule has dropped!
The schedule is subject to change but we will post any updates as needed.

The First 20 Hours Matter!

Every Pop Warner season begins the same way—with a strong foundation.

The first 20 hours of practice are dedicated to conditioning and fundamentals. This important period is designed to safely prepare every athlete for the season ahead while helping them build confidence, strength, and proper technique.

During these first 20 hours, athletes will focus on:
✅ Heat acclimation and player safety
✅ Conditioning and endurance
✅ Agility, balance, and coordination
✅ Proper football and cheer fundamentals
✅ Teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship
✅ Building healthy habits for a successful season

Football Players: The emphasis is on learning the fundamentals of the game, proper techniques, and safely preparing the body before progressing into contact.

Cheerleaders: Athletes will build strength, flexibility, motion technique, jumps, stunts, and teamwork while developing the fundamentals needed for a successful season.

Pop Warner’s commitment to safety means no athlete is eligible to participate in a game until they have successfully completed the required 20 hours of conditioning. These guidelines help ensure every child is physically prepared and ready to compete safely.

Remember…
Championships aren’t built on game day—they’re built during the first 20 hours.

❤️ One Region. One Goal. Where ALL Kids Play.
