The kids at Great Goals have a typical day filled with soccer drills from 8-11am, first practicing skills like trapping balls in the air demonstrated by coaches before using those skills in scrimmages. There is lots of running, action, and occasional spills as the kids play, with emotions ranging from disappointment at missed goals to the excitement of teamwork and sportsmanship emphasized throughout.
