Southern Soccer Academy is a 501-(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing soccer training and league play for 3-19 years-old boys and girls of all ability levels and backgrounds. The club, in its various forms, has been in existence since 1982 and has locations within the metro Atlanta area in Paulding, Cobb, Douglas, Coweta, DeKalb, and Fulton counties, as well as in Savannah and Brunswick/Jekyll Island.

The club in its current form came about as the 2012 merger of a number of pre-existing soccer clubs in the southwest, west, and northwest areas of metro Atlanta. The club's membership now exceeds 5,000 players on 400+ teams, making it one of the largest soccer clubs in the Southeastern US.

The club combines local, low-cost, parent and volunteer-coached programs that emphasize participation through a no-try-out/no-cut policy with elite-level, professional-staff-coached programs dedicated to providing our players with the opportunity to participate in the highest levels of competitive youth soccer in the state of Georgia and beyond.

As a not-for-profit community sports organization, SSA has access to various county and city owned-and-managed soccer parks that are typically leased based on a per-player usage fee payable by SSA to the governmental entity. From time-to-time, we may also partner with churches, school boards, private schools, and indoor soccer venues to access additional field space when needed
