\u201cThe GOALS Council is about working together for the holistic good and inspiring more children to try out the sport of soccer,\u201d said Dragan. \u201cI hope that we can bring the game to kids who aren\u2019t currently participating in any fashion. Too often we get bogged down in the details. You don\u2019t need anything other than a ball and an open area to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition, the GOALS Council welcomed three new members: Jennifer Davis, the Executive Director of South Texas Youth Soccer, Melissa Riemer, the Director of Operations at Arlington Soccer Association in Virginia, and Chelsie Hawley, the Executive Director of Skyhawks Rise.<\/p>\n
\u201cGOALS stands for Growth, Organization, Advancement, & Learning in Soccer and represents Stack Sports\u2019 mission to invest in youth soccer in a meaningful way, as we are truly invested in helping organizations increase participation and grow the game in our communities,\u201d said Andrew R. Hiatt, Vice President of Growth and Market Strategy at Stack Sports and former US Youth Soccer Chief Operation Officer. \u201cWe are thrilled to welcome the new members of the GOALS Council and are excited about their energy and commitment to youth soccer.
