Welcome to the East Ridge Athletic Association (ERAA) Web Site! 

It's an exciting time to get involved and we are glad you've come to visit.  With East Ridge High School now a vibrant (and very real) part of the local community,  ERAA is excited to offer high quality youth sports programs to area student athletes. 

Kids from the communities of Cottage Grove, Afton, Newport, Denmark Township and Woodbury have pulled on black and gold uniforms and have taken to the fields/courts TOGETHER. Give us a call and let us know what you think.  We are off to a very strong start and we look forward to hearing your ideas on how we can continue to build something special TOGETHER...

November 18, 2020 Governor Walz announced a four week dial back to control the spread of Covid-19. The initiative places a pause on most social activities, indoor fitness, and sports programs (including ERAA). 

We will keep you informed as the situation changes. When activities do resume, please remember the following:

Mask Guidelines 
Minnesota continues to have a statewide mask mandate. ERAA recommends: 

• Athletes practicing or competing in a sport do not need a mask. 
• Everyone else, including coaches, spectators, and athletes NOT participating should wear a mask. 

Please be mindful of facility rules for players, coaches and spectators. Failure to abide by facility rules may result in consequences including removal of team without refund. 

Stay home and report if your child is experiencing symptoms
As always if your athlete is not feeling well, please stay home. This includes exhibiting any of the following symptoms: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea. 

Positive Cases and Close Contacts
If your athlete tests positive or is determined to be a close contact of a person with a positive case, please notify your child’s coach and/or team manager immediately. Athletes will not be punished or penalized for missing practices or games due to a quarantine or symptoms.
