Inter Atlanta FC

What Inter Atlanta FC does

Inter Atlanta FC (IAFC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth soccer organization founded in 1988 and headquartered at 161 Arizona Ave NE in Atlanta, Georgia, operating under the legal entity Atlanta Youth Soccer Association Inc. (EIN: 58-1900992). The club serves more than 3,000 players annually through a vertically tiered player development pathway spanning Recreation (ages 4U-19U, volunteer-coached), Junior Blues (U7 bridge), Club (U8-U12 intermediate), Academy (U8-U12 competitive), Select (U13-U19, leagues including MLS Next, GA Aspire, DPL, NAL, and SCCL), and the Advanced Development Program (U13-U19 elite). Supplementary offerings include summer, winter, spring break, overnight, and position-specific camps; indoor futsal at Club OODAZU (effective Spring 2026); goalkeeper training; college ID camps; a referee program; and community outreach via Future Blues and TOPSoccer.

Revenue is generated through per-player seasonal registration fees ranging from $150 to $3,600, camp and clinic fees ($165-$695 per session), tax-deductible donations (including a $2.5M Glenwood Soccer Park capital campaign with ~$800,000 raised), an annual $150,000 financial aid budget, grant funding (including a $300,000 Georgia 100 Foundation award), and field, jersey, and tournament sponsorships (Lawn Capital, Piedmont UrgentCare, E Dennis A/C). The club's operating stack relies on PlayMetrics for club management, VEO for ADP video analysis, and Soccer.com for uniform fulfillment, with no proprietary technology platform.

The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and underwent a senior leadership transition in February 2026 with Andy Skorupski (formerly of Atlanta United) as President/CEO and Lea Rolfes (formerly Executive Director of Girls on the Run Georgia) as COO. Capital expansion includes the planned Fall 2026 opening of Glenwood Soccer Park in east-of-downtown Atlanta.
