"I can’t thank you enough for how much the tournament contibuted to their self-esteem and confidence and they came in third! ...and I had an awesome time too! We met a player ... as well as her parents, who we did not know from our regular soccer games, she attends Grover MS and she was great and the girls bonded after only knowing each other for such a short period of time. The entire experience was really wonderful and well worth the effort."

"Lots of fun yesterday -- great idea. we will definitely be back next year!"

"We felt the event was excellent.  Congratulations to you and all of the volunteers that organized this event.  It was really fun for the kids entered."

"The kids had a blast and I know that was due to a truckload of work done by ... a number of [volunteers] in the days leading up to the tournament and especially today."

"In my opinion, Goal Fest was a great success. From what I could see, kids at every level had a wonderful time. Judging from the organizational aspects of the event, an outsider would be shocked to learn it was a first year event."

"Everything very well done. It was obvious much work was put into the event, and the kids had a blast...Good job - looking forward to this next year!"

"Overall the kids enjoyed themselves very much, the competition was fierce and the games fast moving."

"I loved this format. We play every week and there is no scoring, but this format gave the girls (my child is in 1st grade) a taste of comptetion. "

"It was a great experience. Got the younger kids an opportunity to see tournament play, while also making it fun. Well run and well organized. I have been to many many tournaments and this was clearly one of the best."

"My child and I enjoyed the day very much! Thank you WWPSA and all voluntears who managed and devoted thier time to hold this event! I hope we [can] have this event during spring, too."

"Thanks for having the tournament. My son had a great time and a great experience. The morning was fun and competitive. Overall, we loved the tournament, and can’t wait until next year."

"The kids had a blast. I thought the idle time was reasonable and game time management was pretty good. My son left the field asking to play in the tournament next year. I’m not sure you can get a better endorsement than that."

"My daughter loved it and would like to do it again next year."

"I thought the entire experience couldn’t have gone better. The event was really wonderful and very enjoyable. The girls benefited from every game, win or lose. They met a player from another school and bonded immediately. We only had a couple practices with her prior to the event and she was great!"

"The kids had a lot of fun and were looking forward to the tournament even weeks before. Thank you so much!! Hope you will do it again!!"

"I thought it was fabulous. It ran on time and was well organized. I would definitely do it next year. Anything that keeps children involved in sports and keeping them active is fantastic. Thank goodness the weather was great, too. Kudos to everyone involved! Fun and sportsmanship was emphasized, and all the kids on our team had great fun."
