Shaping Athletes. Building Character. Since 2020.
Since launching in September 2020, the Stamford Spartans have been dedicated to shaping young athletes through sportsmanship, teamwork, and a commitment to the highest physical and moral standards.
Two Programs. One Spartan Spirit!
The Stamford Spartans proudly bring together tackle football and cheerleading under one program. Together, these programs give every athlete the chance to grow, compete, and shine while being part of something bigger than themselves: the Spartan family.


Stamford Spartans are dedicated to providing affordable programming to the Stamford youth interested in tackle football and cheerleading.

Purple + Orange. One City. One Team.
At the 7th and 8th grade levels, our Spartans proudly wear purple and orange - honoring both Stamford and Westhill High Schools.
This connection goes beyond colors. Stamford Head Coach Donny Padapada and Westhill Head Coach Owen Sandoval, together with their high school coaching staffs, partner closely with our Spartans through winter clinics, summer training, and fall practices and games.
This collaboration builds a strong foundation, preparing our athletes to succeed not only on the football field, but also in the classroom and throughout the community.
Safety First.

When forming Stamford Spartans Football organization, we knew right away that our focus would always be the players Safety. Football is a full contact sport and there is always a chance of injury, but when taught proper technique the risk of injury is greatly minimized. We understand that in order to teach our players properly we needed to surround them with knowledgeable, certified, quality adults. From our coaching staff to our board members!
USA Football is the national governing body for amateur football in the United States. USA Football designs and delivers premier educational, developmental and competitive programs to advance, unify and grow the sport.
With the kid’s development and safety in mind, we have chosen to enroll the Stamford Spartans Football organization with USA Football.
Through USA Football all our coaches will earn their certifications in Concussions, Heat & Hydration, and Sudden Cardiac Arrest. They will also have to pass USA Football’s back-round check. Along with those mandatory certifications, our coaches have access to many clinics/courses to further their knowledge of the game and continue to earn more advanced certifications.
