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.
We are eligible to field teams for ages 7-13. We will do our best to place your athlete in the most age appropriate team.
PLEASE NOTE:
IT IS NOT GUARANTEED THAT ALL AGE DIVISIONS WILL BE FORMED.
IT IS NOT GUARANTEED THAT A PARTICIPANT PLAYS IN THEIR OLDEST ELIGIBLE AGE DVISION.

OFFICIAL SEASON START DATE: July 15th
Pop Warner National has informed all associations that the start date for the 2025 season will be July 15, 2025. This decision did not come from the local level. Torrance Panthers will do everything in our power to ensure that all of our athletes meet their certification hours and are eligible for certification.
This will be the start of our mandatory conditioning (minimum of 20 hours). Please try to schedule family vacations around this time period, as any conditioning hours missed will need to be made up prior to entering the regular season. We strongly recommend that your child begin to prepare for this conditioning at least one month prior to the start date.

- Week 1 (10 hours): July 15th-18th TBD

REGULAR SEASON PRACTICE: 3 days/week (days and times will be finalized once teams are formed and coaches selected)
