Empowering Youth Through Football – The Warriors Way

The Two Rivers Athletic Association (TRAA) Warriors Football program is a community-based, volunteer-led youth football organization dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of football while building character, leadership, and teamwork in a safe and supportive environment.

Serving athletes across ISD 197—including Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, Eagan, and surrounding areas—TRAA offers both NFL FLAG (non-contact) and tackle football programs for boys and girls in grades K–8.
