GYAA Football Program

“More Than a Game—We Build Gryphon Leaders.” 

At GYAA Football, we believe football is more than touchdowns and tackles—it’s a platform for teaching life lessons. Our program focuses on developing strong athletes and strong character. Players learn discipline, leadership, and resilience while practicing the fundamentals of football in a supportive, team-first environment. 

What Sets GYAA Football Apart:

 • Age-Specific Divisions: Tailored coaching and competition levels for safe growth.

Whether your athlete is new to the sport or ready to sharpen their skills, GYAA Football provides a place where they can grow as both players and leaders. “Join a team. Become a leader. Fly high with GYAA Football.” 

 GYAA Cheer Program

 “More Than Cheers—We Lead with Spirit.” 

The GYAA Cheer Program is the heart of our Gryphon community, leading with pride, positivity, and energy. Our cheerleaders don’t just support the team—they are the team, setting the tone with spirit and sportsmanship.

Our cheerleaders are more than performers—they are leaders who bring energy to the game and represent what it means to be part of GYAA. “Cheer loud. Lead proud. Represent GYAA with spirit.” 

GYAA Basketball Program 

“Building Skills, Creating Leaders, Competing with Class.” 

The GYAA Basketball Program is where young athletes develop confidence, determination, and leadership on the court. We believe basketball teaches lessons that extend far beyond the game—teamwork, accountability, and sportsmanship. 

Why GYAA Basketball? 

• Structured Divisions: Teams grouped by age and skill for meaningful competition. 

• Fundamental Focus: Skill-based coaching in shooting, defense, ball handling, and court awareness.
