TO OUR GFL FAMILY: For more than three decades the GWINNETT FOOTBALL LEAGUE (GFL) has faithfully served the Greater Gwinnett Community by operating one of the premier Youth Football and Cheerleading programs in the entire country. The GFL is a Recreational Football League which today serves as a feeder program for most of the High Schools in the Gwinnett County, GA area. The GFL and its many volunteers that serve as coaches, trainers, team moms and dads, concessions and gate workers, and parents are proud of this League and for the many PRINCIPLES for which it stands. The GFL has a NO TOLERANCE POLICY for Racism, Sexism, or any other type of DISCRIMINATION based on the ethnicity, color, creed, sex, age, and / or sexual preference of any child and / or parent of a child participating in the GFL.

During the 2021 season it was reported that a coach at one of the GFL’s eighteen Associations made a racial slur directed at one of his players. The Association took immediate action by suspending the coach indefinitely the very next day pending an investigation. The GFL Board of Directors then performed a thorough investigation, reported the findings to the Association, and then reported the findings to the GFL membership. As a result of our findings, the coach in question received a LIFETIME SUSPENSION from both the Association in which he coached and from the GFL as a whole. This is the MAXIMUM PENALTY that can be issued by the GFL!
