Scholastics Requirements
South Johnston Pop Warner Football & Cheerleading is part of the National Pop Warner Little Scholars organization. The program's philosophy is that academics and athletics go hand in hand. South Johnston Pop Warner is required to submit academic information on each participant and each team (both cheerleading and football). The national office uses this information to determine academic eligibility for the program and to award academic honors and scholarships. We must have grades from the entire 2016-2017 school year for each participant (except those who have not started school yet). If the participant changed schools during the year, then grades from each school attended must be provided. We have to have grades for the entire school year.
If the participant was home schooled, you must provide a letter on letterhead that has the name of the home school as registered with the state of North Carolina (you can create this letterhead) as well as the letter/postcard from DPI showing the home school program is registered with the state. The letter should include a one-line statement saying who teaches the child and that the instructor is certified by North Carolina to home school and another statement about the child's academic performance (provide a grade for each subject taught).
Proof of satisfactory progress in school is required. A 2.0/70% or equivalent shall be the minimum grade point average acceptable top participate. We understand that not all student athletes are able to meet our scholastic requirements. If a child does not meet the requirement of scholastic fitness he/she may fill out and submit a Scholastic Eligibility Form. This form allows us to monitor the progress of the child so they maintain a minimum standard and understand the value of academics in conjunction with athletics. As long as the student is progressing in their classes they are allowed to participate.
