There will be a new era in 2008 with Pop Warner Football coming to the South Carolina Upstate. We currently represent the following counties – Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Pickens, Greenwood, Laurens, and Abbeville. If you have an organization or team that you would like to have join Upstate Region Pop Warner Football Association, please email us with contact information to include how many teams you are interested in joining and in which division. Listed below are the age and weight limits for each tackle program. Our mission is not only to encourage the youth to participate in the Upstate Region Pop Warner program but also to commit to the importance of an education. Pop Warner requires a student to have a 2.0 or above GPA in order to participate in our program. Upstate Region Pop Warner does not have "cuts".
