GLADIATORS REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

The Gladiators Youth Football and Cheer Program feels that every kid deserves the opportunity to play a sport and cost should not be the reason your child can’t play.

If your child is on a team where the rosters are overloaded, and he or she may not get the opportunity to play and learn the game of football, “YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO CHANGE”! Gladiators have space for players at ALL AGES GROUPS 5-14! If you already paid registration, we have scholarships available if you transfer over!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A FOOTBALL FAMILY AND HOME, LOOK NO FURTHER, THE GLADIATORS ARE HERE!

COMING FROM ANOTHER ORGANIZATION AND YOU ALREADY PAID FEES…GLADIATORS HAVE PAID SCHOLARSHIPS (YOUR CHILD PLAY FOR FREE)!

Our goal is to change the culture of youth sports so that every child, regardless of social or economic circumstance, has access to a positive youth sports experience. Our youth will learn essential life skills, practice new athletic competencies, and develop confidence, teamwork, empathy, pride in belonging, resilience, and belief in their best selves, through their sports experience.

Gladiator Cheer Was in Full Effect!

What an amazing day at the Bradenton Gladiators Cheerleading Camp held last Saturday at Manatee School of the Arts!

Our future cheerleaders brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and determination as they learned new cheers, chants, motions, jumps, and teamwork skills. More importantly, they built confidence, formed new friendships, and embraced what it truly means to be part of the Gladiator family.

A huge thank you to our dedicated coaches, volunteers, parents, and everyone who helped make this camp a success. Your support and commitment continue to inspire the next generation of leaders, both on the sidelines and in the community.

The future is bright, and we can't wait to see these talented young athletes shine this season! 💚🖤

📸 Check out some of our favorite moments from camp!
