Speaking at the clubs end of season party GGSC Director of Coaching Liam Lacy said, “While it is always nice to win division titles and trophies our main focus within the club will always be on providing a positive sporting experience for the players at the same time as developing their technical skills and tactical understanding."

"We focus on our club philosophies of player development, personal growth and community involvement over results. This season our players have shown a superb attitude and work rate across the 13 weeks of practice and games and every one of them can be proud of their efforts," said Lacy.
Moving forward the club is delighted to announce that they will again be collaborating with the Grayslake Park District and other local organizations on some exciting new projects in the New Year.
“One of my main goals for the upcoming year is to work more closely with all soccer organizations within Grayslake to help provide high quality coaching and age appropriate activities to players of all ages in the local community," said Lacy.
"We already assist with the Grayslake Park District Little League Soccer program as well as many school activities but as a community based club we want to do more to engage kids in the game and offer everyone a level of play that is going to be enjoyable yet challenging to them.”
