13GEM Sporting Programs Currently Open for Registration

Early Registration Ends 9/1

9 Session Dates: 9/13 - 11/15

    Soccer on Sundays

    13GEM Sporting will continue its Youth Soccer program on Sundays at Marymoor Park, but with an expanded program to accommodate the stable, consistent growth of the club.  The Fall season will expand to the age 13 and will provide two individual practice sessions for the younger and older players.  This program will continue to implement the proven Soccer curriculum focused on developing fundamental skills, conceptual understanding, and full-field awareness at developmentally appropriate levels for all ages and skill.


    This is a "Premium Rec" program that specializes in fostering growth in all domains for all players.  Our objective is to ensure your player is learning and growing week-over-week; if they are just participating without growth, then we are not doing our job.  The learning and subsequent growth of each player is the measure of success for 13GEM Sporting, not registration numbers and not revenue.

    Flag Football on Saturdays

    Flag Football returns to 13GEM Sporting programming in Fall 2026!  This is THE 13GEM OG program, the original one, the strongest one!  I am confident you will be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive Flag Football program that teaches deep levels of Football skill and knowledge to all developmental levels.  The Fall program will be open to boys and girls ages 6-13, divided across developmentally appropriate age groupings based on registration numbers.  Players learn the skills necessary to make plays, the knowledge necessary to read the game, and the tenacity to attack necessary to win their matchups.  A side benefit to this program is players report understanding the game better and having a more enjoyable time watching football games on TV in their leisure time.

    13GEM Sporting Coaches

    Coach Jacob

         My personality and skill set caused me to gravitate towards the field of Education and more specifically Physical Education.  First and foremost, I am a leader and function best in leadership roles.  I enjoy the responsibility and accountability of being a leader.  There is no greater responsibility or area of accountability than teaching children how to become healthy contributors to society.  The reason I chose Physical Education is because my favorite activity to participate in is playing sports.  I always wanted a job that afforded me the opportunity to do what I love every day and teaching Physical Education affords me that opportunity.  The combination of helping others improve themselves while engaging in sports and exercise makes being a PE Teacher the ideal job.  My enjoyment and enthusiasm for this profession combined with a natural talent for teaching creates an enjoyable class atmosphere that empowers all students to reach new levels of achievement.  It is important that students have positive exercise experiences early in Life to increase the likelihood of engaging in a health enhancing level of exercise into adulthood.  

         My primary mission is to help students cultivate the skills, knowledge, and intrinsic motivation to maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity for a Lifetime by engaging in sports and exercise.

         I graduated from the University of Georgia in May 2007 with a Bachelor’s in P-12 Health and Physical Education.  I have 13 years teaching experience in a wide variety of teaching situations: public, private, special needs school, urban, suburban, in the classroom, in the gym, contracted teacher, substitute teacher, literally all grades PK3-12, academic classes, and an after-school program to name a few. 

          Soccer has exponentially increased in popularity since my childhood in the 90s.  I grew up playing every sport except Soccer until I was introduced to it at UGA during my PE Teaching Curriculum.  I instantly fell in love with the game and realized I grew up playing the wrong sports... I was made to play Soccer.  It instantly became my favorite sport, and all my personal athletic time was spent learning how to play and read the game.  Through teaching PE and coaching other Soccer programs, I have coached many children of all skill levels: from beginners touching a ball for the first time to advanced players on other youth Premier teams.  After 20 years of learning how to play, read, and coach the game through real Life experiences, I am excited to start focusing full-time on the growth of 13GEM Sporting.  

        My objective is to create a program culture that emphasizes sharing the ball, playing simple soccer, and playing team ball over solo ball.  I want to get players away from thinking that every play needs to be a YouTube highlight or result in a goal.  Understanding tactics such as build-up play, stringing together passing sequences, using a drop pass to relieve pressure, and playing off-ball by reading the game are lacking in many of today's young players.  I want players focusing on strengthening their weak foot dribbling and passing over learning how to do a Rainbow, Elastico, Step Over, or some other flashy, nonessential trick.  

         Receive, pass, offer.  

         Share the ball.  

         Score goals as a unit.  

         Pressure the ball to regain possession.  

         Cover for teammates as needed.  

         Play simple soccer.  

         Simple soccer is beautiful.  I want to train players in these philosophies because it is my favorite style of play, and I believe it will create the best footballers/soccer players.

    I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

    I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

    I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

    I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

    I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

    I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

    Don't Just Take Our Word for It

    13GEM- The Documentary

    This is the literal origin story of 13GEM.  I always wanted to open a gym and teach PE on my own, but there was no social mission behind what I wanted to do.  When I tore my ACL in August 2015 and had to move back to Georgia to heal I had lots of free time on my hands and decided to go into Atlanta and help those who needed it.  Unbeknownst to me, I was uncovering my Life's Mission.  This is the street corner I vow to return to and build a 13GEM facility.
