GEA Player Pathway

Stages for the Ages

 

 

 

 

 

Our Mission:

“Gretna Elite Academy exists to empower members, strengthen families and enrich our community by providing an unparalleled experience for all levels, needs and ability. We foster a love of the game to promote growth and development of every player on and off the field.”

A big part of the GEA experience is the GEA Pathway…from U8 all the way to U18/19

A fully unified competition structure across both girls and boys and the only club in Nebraska that is this way.

We are not a collection of teams under an umbrella but a development journey no matter what a players level is.
