About Coronado Pop Warner

Coronado Pop Warner's mission is to empower athletes to achieve their maximum potential from participation in team sports in a safe and structured environment. Our programs teach fundamental values, skills and knowledge that our athletes will use throughout their lives.

We seek to provide athletic learning opportunities for children, while emphasizing the importance of academic success. Pop Warner strives to create an inclusive environment for all youth. We emphasize sportsmanship, scholarship and physical fitness as reflected in the life of the late Glenn Scoobie “Pop” Warner.

As the only national youth sports organization that requires scholastic aptitude to participate, Pop Warner is committed to developing athletes both on and off the field.

Since 1929, the Pop Warner Program has been dedicated to both student athletics and academics. At every level, Pop Warner programs seek to educate athlete about the fundamentals of football, cheerleading, and dance, but also the importance of education in an atmosphere conducive to developing proficient athletes who play with integrity and discipline.
