GET TO KNOW THE GA

In the 2022/23 season, there are over 90 member clubs with teams in the U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, and U19 age groups. The member clubs are split into nine conferences that make up our national footprint. League play begins in August and culminates with the playoffs and national finals events in June and July. Additionally, qualifying teams compete in a separate, aspirational platform created to add additional quality competition for the most competitive clubs in the GA.

​

THE PLAYERS’ VOICE MATTERS

What makes the GA unique and different is the active role the league’s players have in shaping the direction of the league. How? Introducing the Advisory Panel, which affords the players the opportunity to nominate and maintain a player-led board that represents the thoughts, opinions, and vision of the players. The Advisory Panel is active in suggesting ways to improve the league, engaging in sponsor opportunities, organizing charitable initiatives, shaping league merchandise offerings, and more.

​

CORE BELIEF

Through true collaboration with our players and clubs, we will lead the most dynamic soccer development platform imaginable
