The Palisades Youth Football Association is a member of the National Pop Warner Little Scholars Youth Football and Cheerleading Organization. A very basic and important concept that has been maintained in Pop Warner Little Scholars from its origin is that the classroom is just as important as the playing or cheering on the field. All participants must maintain a level of satisfactory progress in school. Pop Warner Little Scholars is the only national youth sports organization in America that rewards its members for their outstanding performance in the classroom. Each year, the most academically accomplished Pop Warner kids compete for Academic All-American status, and are rewarded on different levels (i.e., National, Regional & League). To be eligible for All-American status the child must currently be in 5th grade or higher, have a 96% GPA or higher, a complete report card from prior year, and listed activities and achievements for child listed are scored. The GPA is calculated using a weighted average based on the grading system used. Any child that would meet the criteria would be contacted by the Scholastics Coordinator for the Association.
