At the Emerald Coast Green Wave, we're proud to be part of the Pop Warner family, where football and cheerleading are not just sports—they're opportunities for young athletes to grow, learn, and succeed.

Safety First

We prioritize the safety and well-being of our athletes, implementing measures to make the game safer without compromising its integrity. From reducing contact in practices to eliminating kickoffs for our youngest divisions, we're committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Academic Excellence

We believe in the power of education. That's why we're dedicated to academic excellence, requiring all participants to maintain a 2.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) in order to take the field. Through Pop Warner's Scholastics program, we support our athletes in achieving their full potential both on and off the field.

The Journey to Championship

Our season kicks off on August 1st, with players eagerly preparing for their season openers in late August or early September. Throughout the season, teams play a 7 to 9 game schedule, with playoffs for select divisions at the end of October. From there, league champions have the opportunity to compete in regional championships, with the ultimate goal of earning a spot at the prestigious Pop Warner Super Bowl in Orlando.

Whether your child dreams of scoring touchdowns or leading the cheer squad, there's a place for them at Emerald Coast Green Wave. Join us in creating unforgettable memories and building lifelong friendships.
