NFMSS in Georgia
National Standards for Georgia Middle School Sports
NFMSS is headquartered in Metro Atlanta, and Georgia is where our national standards for grades 6-8 athletics were built and first put into practice. We work with Georgia schools and districts to bring consistent safety, eligibility and competition standards to middle school sports statewide.
Why NFMSS
Why Georgia Schools Choose NFMSS
Georgia has one of the largest public school populations in the country, spread across a wide mix of large metro districts and smaller rural systems. NFMSS gives every one of those programs, regardless of size or budget, access to the same national standards, safety requirements and technology used by member schools everywhere. Being based here means our team is reachable, familiar with Georgia's district structure, and able to meet with athletic directors directly.
