Our Mission
Our Mission:
The mission of the South Cobb Junior Eagles program is to develop student-athletes from Cooper, Floyd, and Garrett Middle Schools by fostering a love for the game, teaching fundamental football skills, and instilling the values of discipline, teamwork, and academic excellence. As the official feeder program for South Cobb High School, we are committed to building a unified foundation that prepares young athletes for success on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.
Our Vision
To build a unified, high-level middle school football program that develops confident athletes, inspires community pride, and prepares students for success at South Cobb High School and beyond.
Prepare to Perform.
Great seasons start long before the first kickoff. Through offseason training, summer workouts, and spring 7v7 with the GA Buckeyes, our Junior Eagles stay active, sharpen skills, and build chemistry. Working in partnership with the South Cobb High School varsity staff, we ensure our athletes are conditioned, coached, and confident heading into the fall.
The Path to South Cobb.
As the official feeder program for South Cobb High School, we focus on preparing athletes for the next level—on and off the field. Our players are introduced to high school systems, expectations, and coaching styles early, ensuring a smooth, confident transition into the varsity program.
Start with the Buckeyes.
The Georgia Buckeyes serve as the youth foundation for the Junior Eagles. Open to athletes ages 5–10, the Buckeyes instill core fundamentals, discipline, and a love for the game—building a strong pipeline into our middle school program and beyond.
