Great organization! Coaches do a great job to make soccer fun while growing the girls' skills and confidence. Not just for highly skilled/competitive girls, also great for more recreational players.

We absolutely love Girls Leading Goals! Our daughter had a not-so-great experience with soccer in Kindergarten and never wanted to play again. She had a friend that loved GLG, so we urged her to give soccer another try. Coach Kylie is amazing. Super sweet and positive, and really teaches the kids well. Not only does my daughter look forward to every practice and game ---> she also asked to be signed up for an ADDITIONAL practice throughout the week. We are huge fans of GLG!

The club is very well organized and we love the fact that the focus is not only on soccer, but also general well being of the girls and instilling confidence in them on and off of the field. My daughter is very much enjoying her time with GLG.
