In an effort to continue minimizing the risk of injury in high school football, three additional rules will take effect next season to address helmets coming off players’ heads during games.
In answer to several inquiries, the following football dates have been set for the 2013-14 school year. The calendar will not be officially adopted until the April meeting of the State Executive Committee.
2013-14 Football Dates
July 25 - Conditioning Practice
Aug. 30 - First Contest
Nov. 9 - End of Regular Season
Nov. 15-16 - First Round of Playoffs (Bye week for Class A)

GOAA Officials giving back once again! On Sunday evening, GOAA gave back to our community by volunteering our time in answering telephones for GPB telethon on 12/09/12. We don't only work hard on the football field but we also work hard in giving back to our community that we live in.
According to GHSA the knee pad rule is being called very inconsistently. Please look at the Rule as written . We should mention to the Coach before the game that knee pads must be worn properly. If a player enter a ball game with improper knee pads he will be sent out for it to be corrected. If that player is allowed to play it becomes a liability issue.
Thank You ALL GOAA members who brought in school supplies. They were dropped off at MUST Ministries. Again, thank you for helping out the children of our community. GOAA GIVING BACK ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!
