Don’t Forget In Person Registration Tonight Feb. 17 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Come see us at Bulldog Field:
5350 Lakewood Ranch Blvd

East Manatee Bulldogs are brainstorming this off season with ideas to use as fundraisers. We are open to suggestions and are curious as to what you as EMB family members would like to do. Please email us at info@eastmanateebulldogs.com with any suggestions.
We want to think outside the box and do something different than the same old raffle tickets. We look forward to hearing from you.
On Friday February 17th from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm we will be holding an in person registration for anyone wanting to bring in paperwork, or sign up for spring or fall football. We will have laptops on site to provide you with a chance to advantage of online registration. We will have people on hand to help guide you through any issues you may be having with the online system.
When: Feb. 17th, 2012 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Where: Bulldog Field
If you have any questions please feel free to Email Us at info@eastmanateebulldogs.com.
We are now taking applications for football and cheer coaches for the 2012 season. If you want to volunteer your time for a great cause, then we would love to have you. Being a Pop Warner coach can be very fulfilling. It is a lot of hard work and can be a life changing experience. There is a special bond that is made between Pop Warner coaches and the children they coach. Kids need positive role models and what better place to provide them with leadership than in our family.
If being a coach for the East Manatee Bulldogs sounds like fun to you, Email Us today to schedule an interview.
A message from EMB Cheer:
The end of the year party has been set. I know you have all been patiently awaiting this time. Once we finished with the National Competition it seemed as though the holidays took over our time.
When: Monday, January 23, 2012
Where: Saturn 5 at Desoto Square Mall – 303 US 301 Blvd, Bradenton, FL 34205
Time: 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Cake, popcorn, and soda will be served. The girls will be able to participate in mini golf and bounce on the castle. We will also be dispensing the year books and trophies during this time. Parents, you will be able to purchase additional game plays for your children if you so desire; however, it is not required.
Also just a reminder registration for the upcoming season is underway. The majority of the registrations are being held online with an in person registration being held at Beef O’Brady’s at Lakewood Ranch Blvd on February 28, 2012 from 12pm to 2pm. We look forward to seeing you all again.
Special thanks to Saturn 5 for sponsoring this year’s party.
Some of our parents that have never attending a board meeting may not know what they are missing. A lot of valuable information is discussed in the board meetings. This includes but not limited to equipment issues, fundraising, pictures, concession, and general administration issues. We have a few core members that make a lot of decisions and we would really love more input from our families. Our families should never feel like the board meetings are just for board members. The meetings to help our administrators make a difference and move our organization in a positive direction. Please try to attend a couple of meetings before or during the season, our meetings are held year round.
The best way to make a difference is to provide feedback to the organization. If you have any ideas on how EMB can improve please present them at our next board meeting.
We hope everyone has a safe off season and we look forward to seeing you all next season or during a board meeting.
In honor of Josh Rogers, Brett Wagner, and their families the East Manatee Bulldogs are dedicating their new building in the names Josh and Brett.
“We will be dedicating the building at our next big event, either in the spring or the fall.”, said Kendall. Yesterday after the bad news that Josh too had passed. Kendall posted on Facebook, “Today, Josh Rogers lost his battle with injuries sustained in the automotive accident that had already claimed the life of Brett Wagner on Christmas night. I can not begin to imagine what the families are going through at this time. The Bulldog association is deeply indebted to both the Wagner and Rogers families as they had key roles in the building and success of the association. While Jerome, Gena, Debbie, Fred, and Austin worked hard on the board and sidelines, Brett and Josh played hard and displayed great sportsmanship, and leadership on the field. The collective heart of the Bulldog Nation goes to the Wagner and Rogers families during this extremely tough time.”
There were countless people of all ages at the bonfire lastnight hosted by Myakka Family Worship Center. It was an amazing site that so many were from the EMB family. In the words of EMB Football Commissioner Bobby Barnes, “Once you are part of the Bulldog family, you are part of it for life.” Well, that couldn’t have been more true last night as a former EMB coach and announcer made an announcemnt over the PA calling the boys one last time by name and number as captains of their EMB team.
Thank you all for the memories and may God Bless each and everyone of you.
