The Concorde Fire Athena Soccer programs are designed for girls in the U13 - U19 age groups who desire a highly competitive level of play. Our players come from all over the Atlanta Metro area to take advantage of the training offered to Concorde Fire teams. Our certified professional coaching and training staff is proud of its international playing and coaching experience. Concorde Fire provides outstanding team development, which results in state, regional and national championships. Our focus on player development is an ideal preparation for high school, college and the Olympic Development Program (ODP).

Athena teams train twice weekly and play weekend matches against teams from other clubs around the Georgia area. Additionally, teams may choose to participate in various local or regional tournaments.

Tryouts
Positions on Athena teams are competitively awarded and skill based. Each spring (see our Calendar of Events for actual dates), Concorde Fire holds open tryouts where interested players are evaluated by our coaching and training staff. The skills, attitude and potential each player exhibits at these tryouts are considered when team positions are offered. It is the nature of these programs and inherent in the selection process that not every player will be offered a team position. We urge players who are not selected to take advantage of Concorde Fire’s Recreational program and Soccer Camps to advance their skills and prepare for next year’s tryouts.

On Signing Day players commit to the team by submitting completed registration materials and a check for club fees. For those unfamiliar with the process, volunteers at tryouts will assist in answering your questions.

Registration
Each family will be able to register their child(ren) online through the ADG System.  Once you have accepted your position on the team, you will receive an email on GYSA Signing Day that must be accepted online. Please note that teams may also choose to participate in local or regional tournaments and will require additional costs that may range from $25 - $60 per player, per tournament, independent of travel and lodging costs.

Commitments
Concorde Fire Athena Soccer Program and its players make a mutual one-year commitment, which lasts until the tryout period the following year. While you are playing at Concorde, we ask that you give careful consideration to absences so that the effect on other players is minimized. Regular attendance at practice sessions is encouraged.

Concorde Fire expects players who represent the club to maintain high standards of personal behavior both on and off the field. We place great importance on academics and expect players to organize their activities to accommodate both schoolwork and soccer at high levels of achievement. We look to parents to ensure that their Concorde Fire players reach games and practices on time, to attend whenever possible with a positive attitude, and to participate in the running of the Club in some capacity.
