FCA Force Cheer is a Fellowship of Christian Athletes affiliated youth program where the development of a child's character, confidence, and identity is coached as strongly as the skills of a sport. In doing so, we do not compromise competitiveness - FCA Force Cheer participates under the Chicagoland Pop Warner Little Scholars Cheer Program.
Pop Warner Spirit teams have participated for several decades on the football sidelines (Pep Squads, Majorettes, etc.). Today, thousands of youth participate in Pop Warner Cheerleading and Dance teams around the United States. The Cheer and Dance Program offers teams a wide range of opportunity for young athletes at all skill levels: Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.
Pop Warner has established one set of spirit rules along with JAMZ, the Pop Warner Education Development Partner and the original developer of the Youth Cheer and Dance Alliance (YCADA). Together with YCADA, Pop Warner is able to provide online educational courses for its coaches, administrators and judges on team skill levels for Cheer Teams (PW 1, 2, 3 & 4) and for Dance Teams (Pom Performance, Theme Dance & Hip Hop). Pop Warner also offers additional competition opportunities in Sideline Performance Cheer and Skill Games.
