We are excited to begin registration for our upcoming Football and Cheer Season!  This will be the 37th Season for the Manatee Wildcats.  Many of you may have already seen that the home of the Manatee Wildcats has been officially named Nick Pagnotta Field at Dr. Charles A. Tomeo Stadium.  This was voted on unanimously by our Manatee County Commissioners.  The signs are already up at the field, but there will be an official ceremony presented by Manatee County during the upcoming football and cheer season.

 

2022 Football and Cheer Registration:

We are using a new online registration system, Sports Connect, as they have partnered with Pop Warner to be the system that must be used to import and submit team rosters.  If there are any issues as we roll this new system out, please let us know as this is new to us.

 

Below is the link that will take you directly to registration.  You will need to create a profile with Sports Connect to register your kids.
