2022 Green 13 Nominations

Green 13 is back and bigger than ever.

Two years ago we introduced our national Green 13 Program; a celebration of 13 students/athletes across the country who best represent what it means to be “GREEN”.

Previous Green 13 Recipients
Year 1 Recipients
Year 2 Recipients

In our foundational exercise The Green Team we teach the concept of needing to “be green” and “build green”. For simplification purposes, green represents “money”, which is a synonym in today’s vocabulary for “special.”  We want students/athletes who have special character and leadership.

As part of Green 13 each student/athlete will be presented a Lead ‘Em Up Green Team pack with a special Green Team verification plaque as well as FREE CHICK-FIL-A FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR courtesy of our friends at Chick-Fil-A (Kayla Smith – Owner/Operator CFA – Germantown).

As Lead ‘Em Up continues to grow, it’s becoming more challenging to narrow down our list of Green 13 candidates, which is a great problem to have.

That’s where we need your help.

If you have a student/athlete (or two) you’d like to nominate for this years Green13 please fill out the form below. Please don’t share with the student/athlete you are nominating them so if they are selected, it will be a surprise to them.

Please fill out this nomination form for the student/athlete of your choosing.

We will collect nominations through May 2nd. Coaches will be notified of the winners chosen during the week of May 3-7th.

Submissions are closed


Have fun and #LeadEmUp
