Welcome to Torrance Pop Warner! We are excited that your athlete is interested in joining the Panther Family. Our staff of volunteers will do all we can to provide your family the information and support you need to become a member of one of our TYFC teams. Whether your child is a first time player or a seasoned veteran, we hope you will enjoy your experience with our organization.
Torrance Pop Warner exists to use football, cheerleading, and a respect for education to develop strong, smart, responsible, healthy athletes. We give them experiences that build their appreciation for and understanding of leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
Torrance Pop Warner only recognizes the athletic accomplishments of the team, not the individual. We don't track personal tallies of touchdowns or yards rushing per game. We don't count sacks or blocked kicks. We applaud the athletic efforts of the team to reinforce the importance of teamwork, with each member.
We don't try to build stars. We don't want to over-inflate a young ego, nor do we want to risk injuring the self-esteem of a young person. Whether our kids have good days or bad, they are still an integral part of our team…and always will be.
