Founded in 1982 by Danny and Bunny Conceicao, The New
Bedford Bears is a non-profit organization that offers youth football and cheer
programs. It focuses on teaching life skills, promoting academic excellence,
and providing fundamental athletic training. The program ensures a safe
environment for children to learn sportsmanship and teamwork.
Volunteers must undergo background checks and obtain
certifications for football from USA Football and YCADA for cheerleading, along with
additional training from our Pop Warner League and our New England Region.
