As the President of the Georgia Amateur Women’s Soccer Association (GAWSA), I bring a lifelong passion for the game and a deep commitment to empowering women through sport. My soccer journey began in youth leagues and progressed through competitive play with United Futbol Academy (UFA), one of Georgia’s premier club associations. I continued my career at the collegiate level, playing Division I soccer as a goalkeeper. Today, I remain an active player within the GAWSA league and am dedicated to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and competitive environment for women of all skill levels across Georgia.

A dedicated member of GAWSA for over 25 years, Shannon brings a deep passion for the game and decades of on-field experience to the role of VP of Recreational Soccer. She has served as co-captain of Arse-N-All 988 FC for more than 15 years. Whether playing soccer, watching her daughter play, or supporting Atlanta United and women's sports, she is committed to fostering a fun, safe, and competitive environment for all recreational players in the league.
When she was six, Cecelia wanted to play soccer and ended up the only girl on a boy's soccer team. Since that time, wherever she has lived, she has sought out the beautiful game, finding a deep sense of community and friendship wherever she has played. As secretary, Cecelia oversees the social media committee, and is always looking for volunteers to help raise the profile of this wonderful community.
Lisa has been playing soccer for over 25 years, starting her soccer career during childhood by joining her older brother on a co-ed indoor team. As her love for the game grew, she joined more competitive club leagues and served as the Varsity Captain of her high school soccer team.

Lisa is excited to become a more involved member of the GAWSA organization in serving on the board as the Treasurer (May 2024 - present).
