Welcome to the 2024 Manatee Wildcat Football and Cheer Season! The Manatee Wildcats Football and Cheer programs have been competing since 1986 and we are proud to call Nick Pagnotta Field at Dr. Charles A. Tomeo Stadium in GT Bray Park our home. We are looking forward to our 39th Season this fall. The season officially starts on August 1st. To start the season we will practice Monday through Friday from 5:45pm to 7:45pm until we get our 20 hours of conditioning in helmets (10 hours) and in full pads (10 hours). Please be prepared for potential Saturday morning practices if we get rained out during the week. Once we have our conditioning days completed, we will practice Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. Your head coach will reach out to you before the start of the season to introduce themselves. Thank you for being a part of the Manatee Wildcat Family!
