PRACTICES AND GAMES

NEW START DATE!!! - The Pop Warner season officially begins July 15th and will continue through the end of November and possibly through the second week of December if your child’s squad qualifies to compete at our Regional and/or National Championships or football team advances to playoffs. 

Head coaches determine the exact practice times and will vary according to the coach's schedule and availability of indoor facilities.

• Tiny Mite teams practice 2 to 3 times per week for between 90 minutes to 2 hours before school starts then drop down to 60-90 minutes each practice.
  
  

• Tackle Competitive teams typically practice 3-4 days per week for 2-2 ½ hours and drop down to 2-3 practices per week when school starts generally between the hours of 5:00-8:00 pm. Practices are normally held at  Indian Land High School. These teams will start practice an indoor facility a few days a week as scheduling permits as we prepare for competition season.
  
  

Some competitive squads choose to participate in additional competitions that may occur through Spring 2026.  

ALL PRACTICES AND GAMES ARE MANDATORY

Due to the nature of the sport, a practice missed by one cheerleader has a significant impact on the squad, particularly on that cheerleader’s stunt group, who are unable to stunt without every member present. Cheerleading is a unique sport in which each athlete’s safety is dependent upon teamwork, trust, and responsibility of the whole squad.

As a result, attendance at all practices and games are mandatory.  Please make an effort to schedule your family vacations prior to the season start.  

The football season runs from July 15th to Early December. Scrimmages begin mid-August, and the first game is usually the end of August. Once teams have been formed by the various associations, Conference will prepare and distribute schedules.  

Indian Land Chief's home field is Indian Land High School. Away games will be at various fields and high schools throughout the local South Carolina and North Carolina area. The schedule will list the locations of each game on website will have links to maps and driving directions.

COMPETITIONS

Cheerleading competitions are an exciting experience for the athletes and the culmination of their cheer season!  It is amazing to see how much the cheerleaders have learned since the beginning of August.

Every Indian Land Cheer team will perform or compete at the games. Competitive teams have the opportunity to advance to Regionals and the Pop Warner National Championships in Charlotte, North Carolina!
