The GOAL initiatives foundation enables the next generation to play and benefit from the many positive aspects of football (soccer).
OUR MISSION
GOAL believes that promoting a culture of health and wellness through play is a great way to encourage people to stay active and engaged, and to foster a sense of fun and enjoyment in physical activity and conversation.
Discover how your support and donations have transformed the pitch at Verdun Elementary into a vibrant community space! In this video, we highlight GOAL’s first brick-and-mortar initiative, showcasing the tangible impact of our refurbishment project.
With the collaboration of the Patrice Bernier Foundation, we’ve turned a simple idea into a lasting legacy, encouraging teamwork, physical activity, and community building. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!

Football can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. Encouraging participation at all levels, from recreational to competitive, can help create a culture of health and wellness that is inclusive and accessible to everyone.
2 MAKE IT SOCIAL
Foster a sense of community: Football is a team sport that requires players to work together, communicate, and support one another. This can help foster strong social connections and a sense of community, which can be important for mental health and overall well-being.
3 MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE
Provide resources and support to players and parents: Providing resources and support, such as coaching, equipment, and facilities, can help make it easier for people to participate in football and help them feel more confident and motivated in everyday life. It can also alleviate the financial burden of parents.
