The Mission of THE FORT DORCHESTER YOUTH FOOTBALL PROGRAM is to emphasize helping our youth build character, self-confidence, sportsmanship, and learn responsibility & teamwork in a competitive environment, all while gaining a strong sense of community.

As a dedicated feeder program to the Fort Dorchester Patriots High School Football Team, OUR goal is to reach future Fort Dorchester Patriots at a young age, to get them acclimated to the championship culture, work ethic, and stellar academic commitment that comes with being a Fort Dorchester Patriot.

Fort Dorchester Patriots Youth Football Program will participate as a member of SCYFA, South Carolina Youth Football Alliance, and the SEC conference.

Naz Ridley, a Sertoma Board member, Program Director of the Sertoma Red Storm Football Program, A-League Commissioner for Sertoma Hometown Football League, former Head Coach of the Sertoma Outlaws, will serve as the Program Director for Fort Dorchester Youth Football Program.

On behalf of the Summerville Sertoma Club, we want to thank Coach LaPrad with trusting our Club to spearhead this program for his school!
