Ridge Jr Mountain Lions

Our Vision

We Are the Future!

At Ridge Youth Football, our mission is to develop every player—preparing them not just for high school football at Mountain Ridge High School, but for life.

We strive to create a positive, safe, and supportive environment where young athletes can grow both as football players and as individuals. Our focus goes beyond the game—emphasizing teamwork, accountability, and character.

The youth in our program aren't just teammates—they're classmates, friends, and future leaders. They push each other to improve, support each other through challenges, and build bonds that will last through their school years and beyond.

Our coaches are deeply committed—not just to football, but to the well-being and development of our kids. We're passionate about building a culture that fosters strong values, positive influences, and a love for the game.

This officially unofficial position is someone who can take responsibility for the “little things” and assist with the organizational tasks so the coach can focus on coaching.
