The sponsoring organization of the Tamiami Colts is Southwest Youth Activities Association (SYAA). This organization was formed as an addition to the Tropical Park Khoury League in 1969. The games were played across from the Tropical Park Race Course, which earned them the nickname "Colts".
In 1970, the Colts moved to
Tamiami
Park which is located on 260 acres of the old
Tamiami
Airport and is the home of
Florida
International
University and the Dade County Youth Fair. In 1972 the Colts became charter members of the newly formed Greater Miami Pop Warner League, a national organization with headquarters in
Philadelphia ,
Pennsylvania . Our football teams won several Miami Pop Warner Bowls and our cheerleaders dominated local, state and regional competitions.
In 2005, the Colts joined the Orange Bowl League through Miami Xtreme, where many of yesterday’s players are today’s coaches. The Colts Football/Cheerleading program has continued to grow over the past 35 years, catering to thousands of children of all ethnic, religious and race backgrounds.
And as we celebrate 35 years of Tamiami Colts football and cheerleading, we would like to thank all of the volunteers who have contributed countless hours of their time to make this program work, the many companies who have sponsored us and the parents for their continued dedication in bringing their children out here day after day, year after year. Our goal is to give each athlete memories they will never forget. As they leave us, we want them to have learned well enough to have brought a winning way to every game and competition. We want them to have developed character and strength on the inside which shows itself in how they live. We encourage every family member to be a positive part of these memories.
Colts fever is definitely spreading....Catch it!
