Mitey Mites is strictly a training division, completely free of any pressure to win, with a total emphasis on learning. The Mitey Mites participate in a regional bowl game at the end of each season. All other teams are eligible to participate in the regional playoffs based on the success of their season. Based on the outcome, they may experience the opportunity of a trip to Orlando, Florida to participate in the Pop Warner Bowl.

The structure provides a uniform series of three basic years of age qualification for each division of play, with a fourth year of eligibility falling under more stringent weight restrictions (the "older/lighter" player).

Rules of play are governed by the rules established by Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc.

The Jr. 49ers structure consists of five squads. Each squad must be rostered, certified, and registered in the same age division as the football team with which it is associated. Age requirements as follows (there is no weight requirement):
