On Saturday, May 30, Buccaneers players DT Chris Bradwell, WR Brian Clark, WR Cortez Hankton, QB Josh Johnson, TE Jason Pociask and DE Louis Holmes hosted over 50 youth from the local NFL Youth Education Towns (YETs) at the team's training facility for a health and fitness challenge. The challenge came at the conclusion of the centers' spring flag football league, which Buccaneers players attended to lend their support. On Saturday the teenagers competed in stations and were awarded for their performance by the Buccaneers, who spoke to the group on the importance of health, fitness and making smart decisions both on and off the field.
The NFL YET initiative is aimed at positively impacting youth in at-risk neighborhoods in Super Bowl host cities. Tampa Bay is home to two YETs - one in both Jackson Heights and Mort Park - that serve as community education and recreation centers and provide a lasting legacy of each game. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Glazer Family Foundation are committed to promoting physical fitness and healthy living through the continued development of local educational and recreational facilities. Recently, the Glazer Family Foundation donated $150,000 toward the YETs of Tampa Bay to fund the recently completed Glazer Family Football Field at Mort Park.
