Atlanta Colts Youth Association offers two different tackle football experiences for kids. Our Colt D1 Program is one of the oldest and most successful youth tackle football programs in Georgia. Having been established in 1965, it has a rich history of success including multiple national championship teams and has seen several players go on to play in college and the NFL.

The Colts play across NW Georgia and this program is for 8-11-year-olds looking for a more competitive brand of football. Our Intraleague tackle football program has an equally successful history and had a record number of participants across grades 1st through 7th in 2022 and this program is designed to allow athletes the opportunity to master the fundamentals and play competitive tackle football. The Intraleague program plays other ACYA teams at Murphey Candler park. Following are further details on each program.
