Use this tool to identify an athlete's playing age in the respective season. A Pop Warner calendar year runs from July 15 to July 14. The results will show the current season age and the next season age. Please refer to the tables below to identify what division your athlete is qualified to participate in this season or next.
Note: For Pop Warner NFL FLAG programs that wish to compete in NFL FLAG national and regional events, including the Crown Classic held during Pop Warner Super Bowl week, teams will need to adhere to the NFL FLAG age calculation date of July 31. This means that team rosters may need to be adjusted to qualify for these events or that team rosters need to be initially constructed to participate in these events.
Based on your results to the age calculation above, your athlete is qualified to play in the following age divisions.
