East Ridge Athletic Association

Dear East Ridge Football Community,

On behalf of myself, and the rest of the East Ridge varsity football staff, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all those who helped make our recent 2011 youth football camp such a huge success!  As many of you know, two weeks ago we launched our first ever 4-day, full-day youth football camp for 1^st-6^th grade aspiring football players in the East Ridge community.  We couldn’t be happier with how it went!

We would like to take time to thank specific groups of people who contributed to this success.  First off, we would like to thank all ERAA officials and volunteers who assisted in promoting, organizing, and running our camp.  Your assistance was much appreciated and valued by our staff.  We continue to be floored by your endless support and commitment toward guiding our program to the conference and state power we believe it can be.  Secondly, we would like to thank all of the parents in the East Ridge football community who signed their kids up for our camp!   We realize how jam packed your summer schedules can be, so we truly appreciate the flexibility, dedication, and energy you’ve contributed toward the future success of our program.  As parents, you should be very proud of your young football players.  We as coaches were very pleased with their behavior, positive energy, and skill level throughout the four days of camp.  Overall, we could not have made this camp the success it was without ALL those involved with East Ridge football. 

All in all, we are extremely excited about where our program is, and where it is headed!  The potential of our current and future young athletes is very promising.  Again, we cannot thank you enough for your continued support and dedication toward the future successes of Raptor football!

Thanks again, and GO RAPTORS!

The football program will run from early August thru late October. Practice times and game schedules will be available closer to the start of the season. Player evaluations will happen at the end of July.

To participate in the football program, you must live in the East Ridge High School boundary area or obtain an “exception” from the ERAAF Board prior to registering. If you would like to obtain an exception to the boundary rule, please contact Steve Dwyer, Director of Football, at shdwyer1@hotmail.com for details. The philosophy of the football program is to provide a sound foundation and refine skills for all levels.
