Torrey Pines Pop Warner has instituted a Zero Tolerance Policy regarding violations by spectators or parents. Mandatory behavioral responsibilities and guidelines will be followed in all divisions. A single violation will result in that spectator or parent being removed from the field and being banned from any and all football games played by Torrey Pines Pop Warner for the remainder of the season or up to one year. Failure to leave a game or attending any following game will result in removal by the San Diego Police Department or any other local law enforcement agency.

Any board member will have the authority to stop, and end a game and to award the game win to the other team when any spectator or parent causes a disruption on the playing field.
All spectators must remain behind the flags or roped-off areas at all times. If videotaping the game, you must also stay behind the flags and out of the end zones. Only authorized personnel, with appropriate ID cards, the chain gang, and the team checkers will be allowed within the roped-off areas of the field.
Do not yell instructions or criticisms to coaches or players during practices or games.
