Youth programs

Under 21

Under 19

The under 19 is the oldest existing youth program and enjoyed particular success in the seasons 2009–2011 with three back-to-back national championships. The program have played in five national championship games and won three (2011 Solna/Täby 16–15, 2010 Arlanda 24–13, 2018 Arlanda 17–14). 2019 was the first year the club did not field a U19 team, breaking a 26-year streak.

Under 17

The under 17 program was established after reconstruction of the youth leagues.

Under 16

The under 16 program was disbanded after the reconstruction of the youth leagues. Until that point the program won one national championship after competing in a total of five national championship games (2003 Ystad 12–6).

Under 15

The under 15 program was established after reconstruction of the youth leagues.

Under 13 & Under 11

The programs collectively fall in the category of Pee Wee (Pop Warner) and feature the youngest participants. Tyresö has the oldest Pee Wee program in Sweden playing an inaugural exhibition game August 22, 1999.

Flag football

Flag football was discontinued in the mid-1990s.

School teams

Some years the club organize games between local middle schools in a tournament known as Karl Holfves Minne, in memory of deceased offensive lineman Karl Holfve.

Rivalries

While in the lower tiers of the league system, the games against Åkersberga were classic rivalry games. Since Tyresö and Carlstad both entered Superserien in 1998, the two teams have had many fierce battles with the latter most frequently coming out on top. From 2010 to 2012 the teams faced off in the national championship three years back-to-back with Carlstad as the victors every time.

Among all teams ever in existence in Sweden, there are only three teams with a winning record facing Tyresö; Handelshögskolan(defunct), Carlstad, and Stockholm.
