ABOUT GOAL GETTERS
Joe DaSilva founded Goal Getters on the core principle that soccer has the tremendous power to unite people. Under the right guidance and leadership, youth soccer serves a vehicle to teach some of life’s greatest lessons. The game teaches resilience, growth mindset, teamwork, kindness, and the value of hard work. Goal Getters creates an environment for kids of all skill levels to learn these critical skills in an inclusive, fun, and engaging environment.
Joe and Stacy DaSilva are youth soccer grassroots certified pro coaches and specialize in children age 10 and under. They currently coach youth soccer through Boston Bolts (club soccer), Reading United (Pro Coaches), and Lil Kickers/Skills Institute (Danvers Indoor Sports).
Soccer/Futsal Mini-Leagues
Goal Getters is proud to offer high quality league format programs. Parents are able to register their child individually and they will be assigned to a team. There will be at least 4 teams per age group with a 2-3 hour window where games will be played. Each session will be half clinic (skills development) and half game/scrimmage. The skills portion is tailored for the age group and skill level of the kids. There will be low pro coach to player ratios, allowing for more personalized coaching than typical youth soccer programs. The format of play will vary based on the program, facility, and enrollment. However, the game format will generally be anywhere from 5v5 to 7v7 with goalies. The games will be fully officiated to provide an authentic game-day experience.
Soccer/Futsal Academy
The Goal Getters Soccer/Futsal Academy program is tailored to the player age and designed to teach and enhance soccer fundamentals. All sessions will be broken into half skills development and half scrimmage with full sized goals, goalies, and will be officiated like a real game. Sessions will generally last an hour and the program will cover the following: Shooting technique, passing/spacial awareness, defensive technique, and dribbling skills to beat a defender. All sessions will be geared toward improving the kids soccer skills and having fun! There will be low pro coach to player ratios, allowing for more personalized coaching than typical youth soccer programs.
