"The Pierrefonds Cobras finally did it! The team we played against have been undefeated for two years running, but on Saturday our girls put through a win in our final cup game to take home gold!

“As a team we were looking for the Golden Goal Soccer experience to help us bond as a TEAM and learn to trust and believe in each others abilities, as players and a coaching staff.  We were attracted to Golden Goal because of the unique concept of every participating team rooming together, eating together and traveling together for one week." 

“We watched our team go through a transformation of our players following the leadership of a few to ALL girls becoming leaders both on and off the field.  Through unbelievable Team Building sessions and the unique concept of the Golden Goal Tournament Park, I look forward to seeing the end results of a wonderful week as we start to prepare for our Fall Season.”
