The Mission of Fontana Pop Warner Football & Cheer and the Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. is to enable children to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment.

Through this active participation, Pop Warner programs teach fundamental values, skills, and knowledge that children will use throughout their lives as well as to structure a positive competitive spirit and to teach sportsmanship they may use as they mature and grow older.
