EAA Mission Statement

The Edgewood Athletic Association (EAA) is a not-for-profit association created to facilitate and coordinate the Scarsdale Recreation Athletic Programs, in the Edgewood community, for girls and boys in grades K-8.

The goals of the EAA are to:

  • encourage participation in Scarsdale Recreation Sports Programs regardless of skill level
  • ensure our children have a fun experience
  • provide the opportunity to learn and improve skills
  • teach sportsmanship by good example
  • develop an appreciation of teamwork
  • promote respect of teammates, coaches, opponents, and game officials
  • encourage participation of parents in the coaching and coordination of the various programs

The EAA provides the Edgewood community the following:

  • a vehicle to discuss issues involving all aspects of your child’s participation in sports
  • an evaluation of programs and policies by:
    • reviewing selection criteria of teams
    • continually updating the status of the ongoing programs
    • discussing successes and challenges of just-completed programs
    • a forum for new thoughts on the direction of the different programs
    • assistance in the selection of coaches |
    • a process to recruit and select Area Chairpersons.

If you are interested in coaching a team, please indicate so in the space provided on the bottom of the membership application.

Area Chairpersons are the individuals who coordinate specific sports in conjunction with area chairpersons of other Scarsdale communities and the Scarsdale Recreation Dept. Their responsibilities include the allocation of times and places for practices (the Recreation Dept. establishes game schedules). They also procure and issue the equipment needed for that sport. They are the prime contacts for issues and questions that arise during the course of the season.
