SUMMER

GOAL Inc. has designed several summer programs designed to foster healthy living and academic progress.

6th Grade - Summer Sports provides the rules and regulations for several inter-mural sports, available for team participation with DCIAA middle school sports. In the afternoon, participants will strengthen their English/ Language Arts and Mathematical Skills for the upcoming school year.

7th Grade - Summer on the Go participants will be introduced to museums, events and activities throughout the Metro area. In the afternoon, participants will strengthen their English/ Language Arts and Mathematical Skills for the upcoming school year.

8th Grade - Participants of Summer Showcase will be given an introduction to the different high school options available in Washington, DC. Student-athletes will also train in their particular sport to display their talents in an end of summer showcase. In the afternoon, participants will strengthen their English/ Language Arts and Mathematical Skills for the upcoming school year.

09th - Freshmen are new, inexperienced, and are rarely prepared for the experience of walking into high school for the first time. Providing 9th graders with support and tools to be better prepared for the expectations and responsibilities that come with the high school experience.

10th - While the traditional high school sophomore thinks they can settle into the comfort of making it through their freshman year, institutions of learning are raising the bar. Teachers and staff have seen what students are capable of and are pushing forward with higher expectations. Much more attention is required for the 10th grade year, to ensure that the progress from freshman year is not lost.

11th - As official upperclassmen, it is time to get busy: college visits, more visibility to college coaches, real decisions about internships and college majors. As GOAL Inc. participants a junior’s focus is not just on bettering themselves but setting the correct example for members that are coming behind them.

12th - The final year of high school can hold the biggest challenges, this is when all that hard work of the last three years yields options for the future. Moreover, a part of departing for something bigger is making sure you leave the path for others. Heavy the head that wears the crown.

In the afternoon, participants will also participate in physical training specific to their sport of choice.
