🏆 HTX GA2 North Earns Promotion to Girls Academy Frontier Conference🏆

🗓️ March 30, 2026
📍 Houston, Texas

The club is proud to announce that HTX GA2 North has been promoted to the Girls Academy (Tier 1) Frontier Conference for the 2026/27 season.

TThis achievement reflects the program’s outstanding performance during the inaugural GA Aspire season, as well as our club’s continued investment in a development structure that supports players across all age groups and levels of play.

Beginning in the 2026/27 season, HTX GA North will compete in the Frontier Conference. While final conference alignment is still being finalized, it has been confirmed that both HTX GA North and Oklahoma Celtic will join the league, further elevating the league of competition while also enhancing scheduling efficiency from a travel perspective.

The addition of GA North does not change the philosophy or execution of the Girls Academy Program. Our top-tier platform will continue to serve the entire Houston metro area, focusing on identifying and developing the top players in every age group. The Girls Academy remains committed to competing for Champions Cup titles and National Championships each year.

We are proud to be only the fourth club in the country to have a second program promoted to the top tier of Girls Academy platform. This milestone expands the GA pathway, creating increased opportunities and exposure for players in the North region to participate in high level league play and national showcase events.

"This is an incredible opportunity for our players and staff, and a proud moment for the club,” said Andrew Squire, Girls Director. “We are excited to continue expanding our Girls Academy platform and providing more players with access to top-tier competition, development, and exposure. The continued success in our Elite Girls Program reflects the excellent work done across our entire club by our dedicated coaches, administrators and operations staff."

“This is fantastic news for everyone involved with GA2 North,” said Benn Fernie, GA2 North Director. “I want to thank our players, coaches, and families for their commitment, professionalism, and belief in what we are building. This promotion is a true reflection of the collective effort across the program, and we’re excited to take the next step together.”
