History & Philosophy of Oakmont Pop Warner

Oakmont Pop Warner was first established in 1966 as the Westminster Chargers and as a football-only program. With the help of dedicated volunteers and support from the local communities, the Oakmont Pop Warner program has grown significantly since our inaugural year, and in the fall of 2005 entered its 40th year of competition.

Our program is based at Oakmont Regional High School in Northern Worcester County and is open to participants from Ashburnham and Westminster (Hubbardston also welcome).  We are members of the Central Massachusetts Pop Warner League. (www.cmpwfl.com)

We offer both cheering and football for children between the ages of 5 and 15 years old, and typically we field a football and cheering team at each of the 6 levels of competition in the Central Massachusetts Pop Warner League. We have approximately 200 children participating annually.

The Oakmont Pop Warner program has four basic goals for participants in the program:

  1. Introduce participants to the basics of football and cheering in a way that prepares them for the future
  2. Develop well-rounded young men and women by exposing them to the fundamental values of self discipline, teamwork, friendship, leadership, and sportsmanship
  3. Encourage our athletes to excel academically with support from the National Pop Warner Little Scholars Program
  4. Take part in the fun and excitement of competition, be it football or cheering

Oakmont Pop Warner is a family oriented organization with numerous planned activities that allow families to develop life-long friendships and bonds with other families in the organization. We hold monthly organizational meetings throughout the year at the Colonial Hotel in Gardner (on the Westminster line) on the 1st Thursday of each month. The preseason typically begins on August 1st, and the regular season usually begins the 1st weekend in September and lasts for 9 weeks. The four upper levels of football and cheering teams can qualify for the post-season which may include Central Massachusetts, New England Regional and even National Pop Warner events.
