Club Overview
Southern Soccer Academy Swarm FC is a 501-(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing soccer participation opportunities for 3-19 years old boys and girls of all ability levels and backgrounds through participation in local recreational leagues, and in state, regional, and national-level elite competitive leagues, and for adults in co-ed recreational leagues and pre-professional USL men's and women's programs. The club, in its various forms, has been in existence since 1982 and has locations in and around the metro Atlanta area in Bartow, Cobb, Coweta, Fulton, and Paulding counties.
Southern Soccer Academy Swarm FC was formed in 2024 through a collaboration between Intrepid Sports and Brentford FC of the English Premier League, with SSA Swarm FC serving as the flagship club of the partnership.
SSA’s roots date back to 2012, when several established metro Atlanta soccer clubs came together to form Southern Soccer Academy. Today, the club serves more than 10,000 players across 600+ teams, making it one of the largest youth soccer organizations in the Southeast.
As a nonprofit community sports organization, SSA partners with local city and county parks and recreation departments to provide soccer programming and operate at public soccer complexes throughout its communities.
