The Georgia Lions Elite Athletic Association is an unlimited youth football program for kids, ages 4 to 15 years of age, which serves as a component of Georgia Lions Elite Athletic Association, Inc. (GLEAA). We are a competitive youth football program striving for excellence on and off the field of play. We field competitive teams at each age group from ages 4–15 that compete against other teams across the Georgia area. Safety is one of our top priorities so we are an OFFICIAL Heads Up Football program, endowed by USA Football, the NFL and the NFLPA.
We believe every child should have the opportunity to participate in our football program and be a part of the Georgia Lions Elite Family. With this idea at the core of our beliefs, we DO NOT HAVE TRYOUTS. All of our participants have a place in our organization and there is a need for each child's physical skills to be evaluated only for placement. These skills are evaluated not to embarrass the young child but to allow GLEAA, Inc. to assure that teams are divided as equally as possible based on each individual child’s skill-set. Again, no child is turned away or told that he or she will not have a place in our program on the basis of physical skills. All such evaluations are kept confidential between league officials. Players are not allowed to be told their placement order. Here at GLEAA, Inc. we believe that all youth should have the opportunity to be successful in everything that they do, and we want to afford everyone that opportunity. Our term “competitive football” is all about putting student athletes in winning situations on the field.
Furthermore, through the game of football, Georgia Lions Elite molds our communities’ kids into strong young men. We pride ourselves in not just winning football games, but having quality coaches that serve as role models to the kids and realize that their job is to be a role model, a father figure, a disciplinarian, as well as a coach.
*NOTE, all of our home games are played in the City of South Fulton at Wilkerson Mill-Farris Park.* For more information feel free to contact us at
