About us
This program is a great opportunity for kids to meet others in the community. Not only does this make the community closer, it also helps the parents meet other parents. We here at the Memphis Bears first try to teach young adults and children how to respect one another. Second, we are trying to get kids off the streets and use their talents to a greater use. Thirdly, we are here to have fun and prepare these kids for life, and the curve balls life throws at us. Finally, we are here to teach them the great game of football.
The Memphis Police Department has a huge role in this program. They are the ones who made this all possible. An officer by the name of Steve Bramlett, created this organization after working in the public school district as a on duty police officer for 15 years. Over the years he noticed kids not attending school, acting out, and even some get put in jail. He design this program to help young adults and children stay on track and keep their noses clean. Also, associated with this program that makes it all possible is young college student athletes. Who else better than kids that have been through the tough times and have something to show for it. Many of these kids come out here with no faith. Well we change that attitude and show them that anything is possible if you try hard enough.
