Important Update: Registration for the 2024 Season is now open

Goal 4 Health provides a safe, respectful environment where kids and families develop meaningful, long-lasting connections in a fun soccer league. We aim to make organized sports accessible to families across our community and provide a space where families can learn together and build community. We have teams for children ages 3-12 and a ladies league for girls and women 13 and older. We welcome participants from across our community to connect through play, learn through healthy living activities, and thrive in a program with Christian values.

Our goals include:

  1. Equitable access to organized sports
  2. Increase access to evidence-based, age-appropriate health information
  3. Promote physical activity for local youth
  4. Bridge community

Healthy Living Activities

What sets our league apart from others are healthy living activities, where participants learn about important topics in health education (such as hydration, nutrition, and sportsmanship). During practices at the Drayson Center Superfields, participants join interactive, age-appropriate presentations led by LLU student volunteers. Our presentations help our community get the information and resources needed to make healthier lifestyle choices.

Registration and Fees

Registration: $100.00 / player

This year the registration window will be between January 26 and February 19, 2024. Registration requests will be accepted on a rolling basis and final teams will we be sent out on February 22. Registration requests will be prioritized based on several factors including early registration, those living within a 5-mile radius of LLU, team division and sizes, preferred practice days, and willingness to coach/volunteer. Please note that submitting an early registration does not guarantee a spot in Goal 4 Health. We do our best to accommodate all families, however, due to limited space we unfortunately cannot accept all those that register to play.

Registration fee includes player uniform (jersey, shorts, socks) and soccer equipment. Players must provide their own cleats and shin guards.

We want to make sure all families have the opportunity to participate, no matter your financial circumstances. We offer player discounts for families that register more than 1 player and will apply that to the registration total. We have a limited amount of player scholarships available for families who have a financial need and are happy to connect with you if your family is in need of one this season. If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please fill out the registration form and contact our office for additional details. For more information, email us or call us at 909-651-5011.
