About

The Bradenton Gladiators Football, Inc. (Bradenton Gladiators) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization that has been in existence since June 2004. We are a community-based organization that provides youth and young adults with a positive alternative to self-destructive behaviors and societal pitfalls. The organization’s mission is to promote education, teach important life lessons and foster strong character development and academic excellence through sports.

Integrating educational programs and resources into youth sports offers a comprehensive approach to developing well-rounded individuals. By emphasizing the importance of academics alongside athletic achievement, youth sports programs can foster environments where young athletes thrive in all aspects of their lives. The future success of these programs depends on collaboration, creativity, and a commitment to nurturing both the minds and bodies of young people. This holistic approach not only prepares them for success in sports but also equips them with the tools they need to excel in their academic and personal lives.

Bradenton Gladiators uses the power of sports to unite, educate, and inspire young people living in the surrounding communities to create a more peaceful and equitable environment through sports programming, peace education, and leadership development. The Gladiator organization is committed to improving the lives of at-risk youth and young adults by providing an uplifting space for youth from different backgrounds to connect, develop positive relationships and access resources that help them be their best selves. This is accomplished by establishing various programs that are designed to combat self-destructive behaviors and societal pitfalls
