GOALS cancelled for July 9th

Dear GOALS team members,

We regret to inform you that GOALS for Tuesday, July 9th has been cancelled. An event at Sahlen's Stadium was cancelled during last week's rain and was rescheduled for July 9th making the stadium unavailable to GOALS.

We hope to be able to reschedule this date, but as of now the next GOALS night is Tuesday, July 23rd.

We thank you for your understanding.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at info@pietersfamilylifecenter.org

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,
Andrew Little and all the GOALS coaches and volunteers.

The Weather Won Today

 

The weather won today and forced us to cancel the first night of Giving Opportunities to Athletes who Love Soccer. We will reschedule tonight so that we still have 6 GOALS nights over the course of the summer.

 

The next scheduled GOALS night is Tuesday, June 18th. Should you have any questions please email us at info@pietersfamilylifecenter.org or call at (585) 487-3500.

 

In need of a soccer fix? Cheer on the Rochester Rhinos tomorrow, June 7th, as they play the Montreal Impact reserves at Sahlen's Stadium.



GOALS 2013 Season Information

Getting ready to kick off the season June 6th!

 

 

Are you ready for some soccer fun? We are! Throughout the duration of the GOALS program your family will have many amazing experiences that will provide lasting memories. Giving Opportunities to Athletes who Love Soccer, a partnership between the Pieters Family Life Center and the Rochester Rhinos, will build soccer and social skills, support your child in a team environment, and provide a fun night out for the entire family.

GOALS is held at Sahlen's Stadium, home to the Rochester Rhinos, in downtown Rochester. The stadium address is 460 Oak St, Rochester, NY 14608. You and your family may enter the private parking area off off Smith St.

 

You will be greeted by GOALS coaches who will guide you to the sign-in/registration table. Once your family signs in, you will be directed to an age specific region on the soccer field where Rhinos players and GOALS assistant coaches will welcome athletes and get them prepared for the night. Supported by Rhinos players and GOALS coaches, athletes will participate in a variety of skill building soccer drills, challenges and small sided games. The night will conclude with social time together.

We would like all athletes, if possible, to come prepared with weather appropriate attire, sneakers, shin guards, and their own drinking water.
