The GJLS commitment to youth in Gahanna is best served by our association and support of the American League program of high school players. The American Legion program in Central Ohio offers the best competition available. The aim of the Gahanna American Legion program is to promote Gahanna players by allowing them to experience this competition and improve their abilities to better their respective high school teams.
All Gahanna residents and players are eligible to try out and play for the American Legion team. Other players will be selected based upon need and tryout. There will be teams at both the senior level (U19, players born after January 1, 1990) and the junior level (U16, players born after January 1, 1993).
