Football & Spirit Squads Safety Issue:
Parents are reminded that football and cheerleading are a contact sport and can, therefore, be dangerous. With the trend in cheerleading changing to more difficult stunts, cheerleading can also be dangerous. If you have any questions or concerns, please address those issues with the President of Chittenango Pop Warner, Cheer/Football.
- President Jeff Foster
