The Lakeland Dreadnaughts are 7-time Florida State Champions in football and have alumni such as Mike and Maurkice Pouncey who had successful careers in the National Football League (NFL). Athletes will be able to play on the same turf as some of the best players to come out of Florida.
 
Games will officially kick off with pool play starting on Wednesday, December 7 at 11 in the morning. Playoffs will begin on December 9 with Championship games at Bryant Stadium taking place on December 10 -11.
 
Teams will be split into 4 divisions, based on age: 8 & Under, 10 & Under, 12 & Under, and 14 & Under. The Central Georgia Grizzlies will be coming into the 8U division as defending champions of the 7U division from last year.  Multiple teams will be returning from last year looking to avenge losses and become new AAU National Champions of their age group.
