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’s cheer program is designed to inspire our athletes (ages 5 -14) by teaching them the important values of dedication, teamwork, friendship, leadership and good sportsmanship. We encourage all our athletes to meet each new task with a positive attitude, as well as to believe and trust in themselves and each other.
Our goal is to teach our cheerleaders how to support one another and to encourage their teammates through positive reinforcement and mutual respect for their team, their coaches, and TYFC.
TYFC strives to make Cheerleading a FUN, learning experience with lessons that follow them far beyond the spirit of cheering. Each squad is designed to work as a team representing their fellow football players during the games and to demonstrate their athletic abilities on the field and during competitions. Coaches and volunteers are dedicated individuals who enjoy working with and teaching these young girls.
