Pop Warner football involves scheduled practice sessions and competitive games.  August is for practice sessions; September and October comprise the regular season.  During the season, hours of practice are limited and minimal academic standards must be maintained.

There typically are 8 games in a Pop Warner regular season with postseason play held in October and November.  In Franklin, MA, games are played at the Beaver Street field or the football field at the Franklin High School (off Oak Street in Franklin, MA).

There is a participation fee for each player.  Uniforms and pads are provided to all players.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer to help the organization.

Cheerleading for girls is also offered by the Franklin Chargers Pop Warner Association in Franklin, MA.  There is a preseason series of practice sessions. Girls can be assigned to competitive squads or non-competitive squads.
