Goals kick off in the USA

Online, July 13, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Goals Soccer Centres has unveiled its first five-a-side football venue in the US, with the launch of a new facility in Los Angeles, California.

Officially opened by former US footballer Alexi Lalas, the new facility includes 10 five-a-side pitches and one seven-a-side pitch fitted with rubber crumb turf, as well as a clubhouse.

It is hoped the Goals Soccer Centre will help provide some of the first dedicated football facilities in California, with football second only to basketball in terms of participation within Los Angeles.

Goals Soccer Centres managing director Keith Rogers said: "We are confident that the Goals concept will be very successful in California. Soccer in California is growing at an astounding rate".

"Our centre opening coincides with the 2010 FIFA World Cup and we expect to benefit from the subsequent euphoria."
