Southside Made
Built for the mud. Raised by the community.
The Atlanta SouthSiders began as a travel team serving Fayette, Fulton and Clayton counties. What we built on the field — discipline, family and pride in where we come from — is what we now carry into the community.
Atlanta SouthSiders Association, Inc. is the nonprofit home of that work, created so more kids can play, learn and grow regardless of what their family can afford.
Southside made. Southside first.
