About Us

Who We Are

The Parkland Rangers Youth Tackle Football and Cheerleading Program proudly supports up to five (5) Football Team Divisions and four (4) Cheerleading Squads each season.

Most practices and home games are held at Pine Trails Park in Parkland, Florida — our home field and the heart of Ranger Nation.

In 2016, the Rangers joined the Gold Coast Pop Warner Conference (GCPWC), serving Broward County and South Palm Beach County. GCPWC operates as an official affiliate of Pop Warner Little Scholars, the nation’s most trusted youth football and cheer organization.

Our Commitment to Excellence

As a proud Pop Warner member organization, the Parkland Rangers adhere to nationally established standards that prioritize:

Player safety and proper equipment requirements
Certified coaching education and training
Mandatory volunteer background screening
Structured governance and operational policies
Academic eligibility requirements for participation

These standards ensure that every athlete competes in a safe, disciplined, and development-focused environment.

Our Mission

To provide young athletes with structured, competitive, and fun athletic experiences that build character and life skills.

Through football and cheer, Rangers athletes develop:

Teamwork
Discipline
Accountability
Leadership
Work ethic
Sportsmanship

We are committed to developing not only strong athletes — but confident, resilient young leaders prepared for success both on and off the field.

Academics Matter

As part of the Pop Warner Little Scholars program, academic performance is a core requirement of participation. Student-athletes must demonstrate scholastic aptitude to remain eligible and may qualify for national recognition and scholarship opportunities.

We believe excellence in the classroom is just as important as excellence on the field.

The Ranger Difference

The Parkland Rangers are more than a youth sports program — we are a community.

Our families, coaches, and volunteers work together to create an environment that challenges, supports, and celebrates every athlete. We emphasize positive coaching, personal accountability, and pride in representing Ranger Nation.

This is more than a season.
This is a legacy.
