Carlsbad Pop Warner strives to help young people achieve their goals through sound leadership and commitment to academic and athletic performance. These youth are the cornerstone of our future. We take pride in guiding these young people through their journey with our football and cheer programs that CPW provides. It is and always shall be priority one that all of our players and cheerleaders have a safe and memorable experience while involved with CPW. Pop Warner football has been around since the inception of the league in 1929 by founder Joseph J. Tomlin as a four-team conference in Northeast Philadelphia. Since then, participation has steadily increased to today's record numbers. Last year over 425,000 youths participated in Pop Warner sanctioned football and cheer programs representing over 42 states and countries around the world.
