Northeast Bandits Field

My son currently plays football for the 10 under Bandits. The future is maintained and owned by the City of St Petersburg. No youth football organization is perfect but our teams persevere through anything. Great coaches for Football and Cheerleading out here. They truly care about the kids. We play Spring and Fall football here for the past few years. It's located just of the highway for easy entry and exit from the fields. It isn't great that it's so far from where I live in Indian Rocks and traffic is terrible. Open the Gateway Expressway already

Attention parents this organization is not professional at all will not recommend to any one I registered my kids one for cheer other for football and we paid in full we wanted to get it out the way few weeks into our D2 practices they told us that they where merging the kids with the D1 kids my son was not happy with that so we decided to take him and my daughter out and put them in more organized youth group we requested our paper work such as the physical and birth certificate and they told us that we cannot get the papers back we requested a refund also got denied we never played a game nor received equipment so they stole money and documents that that where not Northeast Bandit property the president said he had a policy that stayed that they don't return the items I requested a copy and he never answer back.

VERY unprofessional! After the first game, several police cars were called to break up multiple fights, including between parents and the staff. Coaches were demoted for no reason, except they wanted to protect their kids and didn’t feel they were ready to play due to limited practices. They locked our kids in the fence when the police arrived and wouldn’t let us get to them. It was absolutely insane and then when we requested our $ back, we were denied.

I would never recommend this team. Some of the coaches play favoritism with the kids. I do know that the cheerleaders have very poor sportsmanship. The girls I’m referring to are 12 and up and had been cheering for the team for a long time. By this age… they should have been taught better and there should be consequences when they are being mean. The girls even went so far to say they would not prevent my daughter from being injured and continuously dropped her. They would tell her they did not want her there. The coach heard this and should have put an immediate stop to what they were doing. She did not feel safe, so I removed her. This was within the first week. I did not receive a refund nor her uniform I paid for.

We are very disappointed with our experience of NORTH EAST BANDITS. My son started on the 7u tackle team this August. Once tackling practice started my son, as well as 4 other kids, were left standing or sitting on the side lines. Several kids have already quit for same reasons. I spoke with the head coach many times as well as several other parents. No changes. The same ten or eleven kids played all during practice. Once games started, the same things happened, the same kids were left out of the game. As a single mom who invested over 400 dollars into the sport team so my son could play, just to watch his little spirit break due to the fact that he just wanted to be included and treated fairly, but was left out. After watching this go on for almost two months, we are done. The president did not have the decency to reply back to my calls, text and emails regarding the matter. On top of all the other problems, they cant seem to get it together as far as organization, lying about gear we would recieve after paying the $250. Also parents fist fighting in the parking lots while young kids are trying to practice. My sons coach made alot of promises to us and it was never followed through on. My son played last year for a Largo team and I had zero problems. If you want accountability, organization, and fairness this is not the league for you. Save your money.

Same issue as Monica, 4 kids had to sit on sideline unless the team was up by 3 scores. It was a waste to spend my time taking him to practices and games to watch him look bored on the sideline. Not to mention all the "n" word usage by parents and kids themselves, not a good setting to teach the kids.

Great atmosphere. Great environment. Sense of family. Coaching staff really teaches the game. Many life lessons are taught. Staff presses grades in school as high importance!

Northeast Bandits & Tampa Raven's played a hella game Saturday! Northeast Bandits for the win! Great Job Kids & supporting parents/guardians Poor sportsmanship parents/guardians of Tampa Raven's just Terrible behavior!

Parking is a joke. People just sit in their cars and block the lanes & there is garbage everywhere. Very unorganized organization. Safety is a issue.
