DeKalb County joined the program in 1967 -68 for the regular GHSA winter season. In 1970, a fall league was established for smaller schools who did not participate in football. In 1979, the winter season was moved to spring. The first two state championship tournaments were held at Emory University. When DeKalb County joined the program, a majority of tournament games were held at the DeKalb County stadiums. Briarcliff was the first DeKalb County team to win a state championship in soccer.
