BG United: building leaders on and off the field

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A new youth football program, BG United, is making a big impact in Bowling Green.

Launched in December 2024, this organization goes beyond teaching football skills to focus on developing young leaders.

Head Coach Gary “coach Gee” Settles and his staff prioritize their players’ overall growth, not just their performance on the field. They actively support academic success, track grades and emphasize building character, discipline and respect.

“It’s football, but it’s a lot more than that,” Gee says. The program treats training like college, with offseason workouts and film sessions, all aimed at helping kids reach their full potential in life.

As their season approaches in August, BG United is clearly building a lasting legacy in the community.
