What is a Torero? When our beloved Father Buddy was selecting a mascot he wanted to find something that symbolized Grace and power, a gallant warrior and a connection with Mexico with whom San Diego has had an honored tradition. As a result the Torero became San Diego’s mascot. The Torero is the name for all the of fighters in the bull ring. Why all the blue? Sky blue is the color of the Toreros because the sky will be the last thing Torero opponents will see.

The Torero lacrosse team is built on Ten Foundations.

Pride: What no one can ever take from you.
Commitment: Doing the hard right over the easy wrong.
Respect: What you can carry with you when all else is gone.
Pain: An illusion.
Integrity: The proof of manhood.
Discipline: Because you can do a thing does not mean that you must do that thing.
Honor: What no one can give or take away from you.
Courage: To be afraid, but to go anyway.
Dedication: To push yourself 2 feet when you only have 1 left in you.
Team: To achieve synergy
