Stack Sports Presents
The Growth, Organization, Advancement, & Learning in Soccer Council
The GOALS Council, a national strategic advisory council founded by Stack Sports and industry luminaries, is an action-oriented group of leaders in the soccer space working together to better the sport for the next generation. This idea incubator will solve for key issues facing the sport and work together to move ideas forward at the community, region, and national level.
The Stack Sports commitment is to move forward council ideas in the industry via our efforts, connections, partnerships, and resources.
Community Soccer Ball Box
The GOALS Council Community Soccer Ball Box is designed to increase participation in soccer through the simple act of sharing a ball.
Have you found a box in your community? Feel free to grab a ball and play – no field or game rules are required. Do you have an extra soccer ball that you no longer use? Share it with your neighbors by simply adding it to the box.
Take a ball. Have some fun. Leave a ball for the next one.
