pANTHERS TACKLE FOOTBALL

Focusing on fundamentals, safety, and competitive excellence, NPAA football teams compete in the Pop Warner First Coast Conference. With experienced coaches and a high-energy environment, our players develop skills that last far beyond football. Our main goal is for each player to deepen their love of the game and have the opportunity to play high school football. Every player will play in every game, supported in their effort, attitude, and performance on and off the field.

Our athletes learn:

  • Proper tackling and football fundamentals

  • Discipline, dedication, and teamwork

  • Confidence under pressure

  • Leadership on and off the field

Our teams practice and play home games at Nease High School, and regular season away games will be played throughout the greater Jacksonville area.

CHEERLEADING

NPAA Panther Cheerleading is where confidence, athleticism, and team spirit come to life through sideline and competition cheerleading.

Our cheerleaders are more than sideline support - they are the leaders, performers, and the heartbeat of the Panther game day. Through structured training and positive coaching, our athletes build strength, precision, and confidence while learning the value of teamwork, commitment, and competition.

Our cheerleaders learn:

  • Strong fundamentals and technique

  • Stunting, motions, jumps, and performances

  • Team unity and sportsmanship

  • High-energy game day presence

  • Competition prep

Our teams are open to both beginners and experienced cheerleaders. We practice twice a week at Nease High School and at Zone Cheer. Teams will cheer on Saturday game days and compete in three to four competitions throughout the fall with the potential to compete regionally and nationally.

“We had an amazing experience on the 8u team at NPAA. This was our son’s first time playing tackle football, and the coaches made him feel comfortable and confident. He learned so much and is excited for his second season.”
