Welcome to the Bartram Trails Athletic Association Football Page, Home of the Bartram Bears!!
Behavior, Education, Accountability, Respect, Success
As a Bartram Bear, we emphasize good behavior, being taught fundamentals and safety, being accountable, having respect for yourself and others which will lead to success on and off the field. We also stress the importance of family, community, and school. These are the qualities of the Bartram Bears Family.
What are the expectations:
1. Positive Attitude and Energy
2. Willingness to listen/learn
3. Accountability, attend practices and be a good teammate.
4. Family participation: it takes all of us to run a volunteer organization. Our Bear family not only plays together we work together.
