With great sadness, we announce that the Sakonnet Schooners will not be offering football or cheer for the 2026 season.
As many of you know, we have struggled with registration numbers over the past several years. We held onto hope that 2026 would be the year we turned things around, but unfortunately, that wasn't in the cards.
This was an incredibly difficult decision. Our priority has always been providing our athletes with a fun, safe, and competitive Pop Warner experience. After a discussion with the RISMA board, we both feel Sakonnet cannot provide the quality season our athletes deserve.
To our players, cheerleaders, families, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters—thank you. Your dedication, countless hours, and unwavering support have meant the world to our organization, and we hope you will continue to support us as we rebuild.
The good news is that athletes who reside in Westport, Tiverton, and Little Compton are welcome to register with any RISMA Pop Warner association that has available space. We want every child who wants to play football or cheer this fall to have that opportunity.
If you need contact information for another association or have questions about the registration process, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are more than happy to help guide you to another program and wish every athlete an amazing 2026 season.
Thank you for being part of the Sakonnet Schooners family. We hope to return in the future, better than ever!
