Click here for the 2024 Gladiators Sponsor Guide

The Ohio Gladiators are the 2023 Tri-Point Football League Champions!

The Ohio Gladiators Football Team is a dedicated and family oriented football organization based out of Alliance, Ohio. As one of the area's longest tenured organizations at our level and current TPFL Champs, we are always seeking opportunities to grow within our communities as well as helping to provide our local businesses with a unique option for furthering their advertising.

The Ohio Gladiators Football Team is different from professional and scholastic sports teams in that we are a registered nonprofit organization. Funding for our entire operation comes from player fees and through partnerships with sponsors. While helping to advertise and get exposure for our sponsors, those funds go towards helping us provide an opportunity for our players to continue playing the sport that so many of us love. It helps to provide a sense of camaraderie, a team atmosphere, and a positive outlet for our players. An outlet that so many young men need. We provide similar benefits that youth and school sports provide for their athletes. Benefits that would otherwise not be available to our players at their age.

The Gladiators also aim to create a place where many of our players can continue to chase their dreams of playing at the next level. Many of our players' sights are set on earning a professional contracts (Arena, Overseas, CFL, NFL) or they hope for a chance to play college football after missing their shot coming out of high school.. Partnerships with sponsors like you will help provide these opportunities for young men who may not have it otherwise.

On the Horizon for the Ohio Gladiators

After two consecutive TPFL Championship appearances, the Gladiators finally came away with the Championship Trophy in 2023. This January (2024) we will be representing the TPFL in the Sunshine Bowl National Championship in Orlando, Florida. Our driving goal is for a chance to defend our championship in 2024 while helping to elevate our players to their next goal. We also look forward to expanding our team's exposure and in turn the exposure of our prospective sponsors. As well as providing a competitive and family atmosphere that helps our level of football to grow.

Gladiators Home Game Experience

It's hard to beat the exciting atmosphere of a football game. Especially when you're at either of the amazing facilities we play our home games at. Facilities like the beautiful turf fields at Alliance, Ohio’s Marlington High School’s “Dukes Stadium” and East Canton High School’s “Foltz Field”.

Be sure to visit the concessions stand where proceeds go to help the Marlington Music Booster Organization or East Canton’s Youth Football Program.
