Savannah United Early Goals

Give your child’s soccer future a kick start and sign up for Savannah’s largest program for the smallest kids. Since 2006, Early Goals has been Savannah’s choice for training future soccer stars. Early Goals is a fun, engaging, action-packed soccer program specifically designed to cater for the youngest players ages 30 months to 4 years old. Coaches will work on simple coordination, ball familiarity, listening skills, teamwork and hopefully plant the seed for a lifetime of soccer enjoyment. With one session a week, Early Goals is a safe, non-competitive environment which focuses on the fundamentals of the ’beautiful game’.

If you have any questions about the Early Goals program, please contact the program director Matt Pritchard via email: m.pritchard@savannahunited.com

The program fee for Early Goals is $65 for 6 sessions over 6 weeks. On occasion, Early Goals will add a $20 facility fee when training takes place indoors.

Spots are first come first served, and fill up very quickly. Parents are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible.

Registration will open on Monday, February 23 at 8:00am.

There will be a waiting list for each session, however, those spots rarely become available. We encourage parents to find a different day / time option if your preferred session is full.
