Flo Rida -- Flies Football Team to L.A. ... to Take On Snoop Dogg's All-Stars

Flo Rida wanted his youth football team to take on the Snoop Dogg All-Stars so bad ... he flew his entire squad out to L.A. yesterday for the first annual "Flo Rida Youth Snooper Bowl," TMZ Sports has learned.

The pee-wee football battle went down at L.A. Southwest College ... after Flo shelled out to fly his group of +75 kids -- plus coaches and staff -- from Florida to L.A..

We're told both teams ended up winning trophies in different age groups ... and after the event, Flo took his kids for a tour of the city before heading home.

We're told the rappers also put together a tribute for Trayvon Martin.

In the end, we're told it was a great experience and both Snoop and Flo considered it a rousing success.

Ultimately, Flo's team stayed in L.A. for 3 days. We're told next year it will be Snoop's turn to fly his team to Miami

Football -- gotta love it.
