Youth tackle football is back in
Dania Beach.
The Dania Beach Bulldogs,dressed
in black and gold, have been resur-
rected after a 15-year absence. A
football
month into a young season, the Bull-
dogs have played four games, filling
Charlie Will Thomas Park, their
returns home
"This has been a big success,"said
Arlon Kennedy,who heads a comput-
er center at the park and who has
e helped start the team. "Now we have
toDaniato translate that success from football
to other sports — and to divert the
kids into other programs, away from
violence on the street."
The Bulldogs have three teams in
three weight divisions — 95 pounds,
120 pounds, and 150 pounds. The
youngest players are 7 and 8 years old
and the oldest are 15.
So far, the big boys have had the
most success.The 150-pound team is
3-2, while the two younger teams are
both 1-4. The Bulldogs play teams
from Broward,Miami-Dade and Paho
Beach counties.
"1 wasn't surprised we've done
well in the older boys," said Chad
Gregory,who coaches the teams."We
run a Nag football program,so we just
moved the boys up. We knew what
kind of players we had."
The Bulldogs — who were called
the Dania Bears 15 years ago — are
sponsored by the city and a $30,000
grant from the Broward Sheriffs Of-
fice.There is also a fee of$100 a child
to play.
The Bulldogs' biggest crowd came
Sept. 4 in the team's home opener.
About 1.000 people watched the Bull-
dogs and also participated in a cere-
mony in which the park's name %vas
officially changed from Modello Park
to Charlie Will Thomas Park. The
City Commission approved the name
change earlier this year.
Charlie Will Thomas was a long-
time city employee who organized
youth sports teams and encouraged
kids to stay away from drugs.
The Bulldogs play at 2:30 p.m.Sat-
urday at Charlie Will Thomas Park
against Northwest Broward, a Mar.
gate-based team.
