Lil’ Kickers Welcomes New Northeast Atlanta Franchise Location

Lil’ Kickers Franchising expands to serve families in Duluth, Suwanee, Johns Creek, and surrounding communities.

NORTHEAST ATLANTA, GA. — May 9, 2026 — Lil’ Kickers is proud to welcome Lil’ Kickers of Northeast Atlanta, owned by Sai Tejaswini under Next Gen Athletics LLC, to its franchise network. The new location officially launched on May 9 and is now serving families throughout Duluth, Suwanee, Johns Creek, and the surrounding Northeast Atlanta communities.

Lil’ Kickers uses soccer as a foundation for child development, helping children build confidence, coordination, and executive functioning skills through age-appropriate classes.

Tejaswini brings a background in technology and consulting, where he has led large-scale programs and developed solutions for enterprise clients. That experience provides a strong operational foundation for business ownership, while a passion for youth development and community impact inspired the decision to bring Lil’ Kickers to Northeast Atlanta.

“This journey started as a passion project alongside our professional careers, driven by the desire to build something meaningful in our community,” said Sai Tejaswini, franchise owner of Lil’ Kickers of Northeast Atlanta. “We took that leap to bring Lil’ Kickers here, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to turn that vision into reality.”

For Tejaswini, Lil’ Kickers stood out for its play-based approach to early childhood development and its focus on the whole child.

“We were drawn to Lil’ Kickers because it’s not just about soccer,” Tejaswini said. “It’s about building confidence, coordination, and social skills in a fun and engaging way.”

The Lil’ Kickers Northeast Atlanta team has partnered with Atlanta Badminton Club (ABC) at its turf field to give families a year-round indoor option where children can stay active, learn, and connect with others. Tejaswini and his team are focused on creating a welcoming, inclusive, and high-energy environment where children feel encouraged from their first class.

“We want every child to feel excited to come to class and leave with a smile, growing in confidence each week,” Tejaswini said. “For parents, we want them to see real developmental progress in their children both socially and physically, while knowing they’re part of a supportive and positive environment.”

As classes get underway, the Northeast Atlanta team is looking forward to building relationships with local families and becoming a trusted resource in the community.

“We hope to create a positive space where kids can learn, grow, and stay active while also bringing families together,” Tejaswini said. “Long term, we’d love to become a trusted program that families consistently return to and recommend.”

Lil’ Kickers looks forward to supporting Tejaswini and the Next Gen Athletics LLC team as they continue to grow Lil’ Kickers of Northeast Atlanta and serve families across the region.
