SDH Network Announces Partnership with Georgia Student Finance Commission to Support Student-Athletes Across the State

The SDH Network is proud to announce a new partnership with the Georgia Student Finance Commission that will support high school soccer coverage across the state while helping student-athletes and their families prepare for the path beyond graduation.

The collaboration connects SDH’s growing high school soccer coverage with the resources available through GAfutures, the GSFC's statewide platform that helps students plan and pay for college while preparing for careers after high school.

From ninth grade through graduation, GAfutures.org provides tools to help students and families navigate college planning, financial aid, scholarships, and career pathways.

Families can create an account and explore the possibilities at GAfutures.org.

Supporting High School Players On and Off the Field

The partnership centers on one shared belief: the players competing on fields across Georgia today deserve opportunities beyond the final whistle.

Through this collaboration, Georgia Student Finance Authority will serve as a major sponsor of SDH’s statewide high school soccer coverage during the 2026 season.

The Georgia Call-Up

GAfutures.org will serve as the presenting sponsor of The Georgia Call-Up, a recurring SDH feature highlighting high school players across the state who deserve recognition and exposure to college programs.

The Georgia Call-Up is designed to spotlight standout student-athletes and help connect them with the next level while reinforcing the importance of academic preparation alongside athletic success.

Families, coaches, and communities will also have the opportunity to nominate players who deserve to be seen.

Supporting the 2026 SDH High School Broadcast Season

The Georgia Student Finance Commission and its GAfutures.org platforms will also be a supporting sponsor of the 2026 SDH High School Broadcast Season, which continues to expand coverage of high school soccer across Georgia.

The partnership will include sponsorship of select SDH High School Pregame Shows, where the SDH team will recap the week’s action, preview upcoming matches, and highlight standout players and stories from around the state.

More details about the resources available to students and their families at GAfutures.org will also appear throughout SDH’s high school match broadcasts, reinforcing the resources available to student-athletes and their families as they plan their futures.

Building a Pathway for the Next Generation

Beyond match coverage, the partnership will also support the development of a new youth soccer-focused program on the SDH Network.

The show will focus on the broader ecosystem around youth sports, including:

• Coaching and development

• Supporting young athletes at home

• Nutrition and wellness

• Mentoring and leadership

• The pathway from youth soccer to high school and beyond

The program will begin with special editions in Spring 2026 before expanding to a weekly show later in the year.

Connecting Soccer and Opportunity

For the SDH Network, the partnership reflects a core part of the mission behind its growing high school coverage.

Soccer is a powerful platform for community connection, but it can also be a gateway to educational opportunity.

By working with the Georgia Student Finance Commission, SDH aims to help ensure that the players and families following high school soccer across the state also have access to the tools that help turn athletic ambition into academic and career success.
