Football Academy for Kids aged 4-15 | 10th year of operation | 8 training centres in Chennai And thus, Great Goals came into existence.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲
We are primarily a Football Academy offering programs for kids aged 4 to 16 at 8 locations across Chennai. We also offer Basketball coaching and tailored Multi-sport programmes to schools.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆
We are an academy with unique origins. In 2013, Co-Founders Priya Gopalen and Sandhya Rajan, as mothers of two football-obsessed boys, found it next to impossible to find a suitable football program that was structured, accountable, fun, and safe. This pushed us to create our program that would be about more than just playing football – it would help children understand that sport is not merely a game but a life skill. We’ve learned and grown since those beginnings and are now a professionally run, quality-conscious sports academy with players varying from ages 4-16. And here we are, in our 10th year of operation with more than 300 kids enrolled in any given year.

We follow the 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 (also called the 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 developed by the English FA). Our training is based on an annual curriculum that is designed to ensure every player learns the most they can every term.

𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀

* 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝗻 - We believe that every child has to enjoy the process of learning to play the sport, while demonstrably getting better at the game.

* 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - A big component of the program is fostering team spirit and developing the right attitude to the game. Coaches watch out for blame-gamers, bad losers and bragging winners - all of these natural in the age group we work with. But this is also a perfect age to foster true sportsmanship. We firmly believe that a good attitude is as important as star skills.

* 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 - Every child trains two days of the week 1) The focus is on drills and skills followed by small sided games. 2) Saturdays, we have match days, where all batches come together and use the learned skills in a game setting.

* 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 - We believe in delivering equal opportunities for boys and girls alike and strive to bridge the gender gap.

Football is more than a game. It’s a different way of learning.

Every session gives children opportunities to think, decide, adapt and work with others. From making quick decisions under pressure to understanding movement, space and teamwork, football develops skills that extend far beyond the pitch.

At Great Goals, every session is designed to challenge both the player and the mind. Because when children learn to think through the game, they become smarter, more confident individuals.

⚽ Learn the game. Think the game. Grow through the game.

Is your child’s schedule too full to simply be a kid? ⚽

Between school, tuition, and activities, children need more than another commitment. They need time to move, play, reset, and recharge.

At Great Goals, football gives them that 90-minute break — helping them return with a clearer mind, renewed energy, and confidence.

Because sometimes, the best thing a child can do is play.

Same passion. Different times. Future champions, then and now.
