Mission Statement
The Mission of Diamond Bar Pop Warner (DBPW) is to enable children to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe, structured, and encouraging environment. Through this active participation, DBPW programs teach fundamental values, skills and knowledge that the participating children will use throughout their lives.
Core Values: A system of guiding principles and tenets
“The core values embodied in our credo might be a competitive advantage, but that is not why we have them. We have them because they define for us what we stand for, and we would hold them even if they became a competitive disadvantage in certain situations.”
Ralph S. Larsen, CEO of Johnson & Johnson
