LIONS' history

deep traditions

For three decades, the roar of the GT Lions has echoed across the fields of Blackwood, New Jersey. Founded in 1996, the Gloucester Township Lions Youth Football & Cheer organization has grown from a grassroots local initiative into one of South Jersey's most respected youth sports programs. Operating out of their home complex at 430 Woodbury-Turnersville Road, the Lions have provided a safe, family-first environment for thousands of young athletes to build character, confidence, and lifelong friendships.
