Welcome to ringgold tiger football 

Dear community members, families, and fans, 


Welcome to the 2024 football season! We are very excited for the upcoming season, and everything that goes along with Friday Night Lights in Ringgold, GA. Ringgold is an extraordinary place, especially on Fall Friday Nights. Our players, coaches, student assistants, support staff, and booster club members have worked extremely hard this off-season to put a product ON and OFF the field that YOU will be proud of! 


Our program not only has great success on the field but has great success in the classroom and within the daily lives of our student-athletes. We believe in three types of hoods; Childhood → Boyhood → Manhood. Parents take their kids from Childhood to Boyhood. We help take them from Boyhood to Manhood. The lessons learned from Football will carry over into their daily lives. After graduation, we will send men into the world with a COMPETITIVE NATURE equipped with the CHAMPION MINDSET to be great husbands, fathers, community leaders, employees, or employers. We have a WE > ME culture. That means the TEAM comes before the INDIVIDUAL. We believe this because one day when these players become husbands and fathers they will put THEIR TEAM (Their Family) above the needs of THEMSELVES


Thank you for your support and for allowing us to represent the greatest school and community in the STATE!


GO TIGERS!
