Bulldogs Friends and Family

We are excited to begin the 2025 season. This year Bedford Bulldogs JHL will host youth tackle football in 3 divisions:

Seniors (8th-7th grades)

Juniors (6th-5th grades)

Youth (4th-below grades)

Bedford has a history of success in JHL with several championships over the last decade. We look forward to growing that success with the addition of a Juniors and Youth division. 

Bedford Bulldogs JHL promotes a positive culture within the 4 pillars of physical, fast, intelligent, and fun. We strive to build a family that supports each athlete and family in their football journey. We remind our athletes, it starts with "attitude and effort" - being positive and working hard both as an individual and team.

Bedford Bulldogs JHL is a development-based program. Our #1 priority is preparing athletes to compete at the high school level. Consequently, we focus on teaching and strengthening the fundamentals of football, namely blocking and tackling.
