SCSS - started to offer non sporting activities into primary schools, for times when poor weather restricted them from outside activities. This originally taught children basics of literacy and numeracy through the mode of sport.Simon Carson, founder, slowly developed these lessons into the embryo of GOAL. Eventually encouraged by enthusiastic feedback from pupils, teachers and heads of schools SCSS offered GOAL as a stand-alone course.After 4 years working in over 100 Schools in Teesside and North Yorkshire we are now moving forward (again with encouragement from teachers, parents, pupils and especially school heads) to the hopeful roll out to primary schools nationally.Future Possible Development:Whilst GOAL is currently aimed at year 5 and 6 pupils we plan to both up scale and downscale in order to differentiate age groups. We intend to adapt the course for up to 6th form college and potentially university students. Lots of other long-term possibilities are envisaged with numerous possible board games / PC - interactive media games and add-on products.

Simon Carson Soccer Schools was originally established in April 1993. Beginning with just two coaches the business has now grown and become a sports school with over 20 coaches currently employed.The sports clubs take place at venues throughout the region ranging from Whitby to Hawes and Sunderland to York. SCSS regularly run clubs during the school holidays and After School. The Company also run school P.E lessons, Lunchtime clubs and Evening Courses ranging from football sessions to multi skills and dance clubs. Over the years SCSS have visited over 300 different schools and currently run over 100 sessions each week. Many footballing stars have attended the clubs over the years, most notably Tottenham captain and England international Michael Dawson as well as Premier League players like Bolton’s David Wheater, Sheffield United's Tony McMahon and Bradford City's Andrew Davies. Even film star Jamie Bell attended a course in his youth!SCSS are constantly working to improve their courses as staff attend various workshops and increase their coaching qualifications. Our strong links with Middlesbrough College have led to the inclusion of Modern Apprentices as the company continues to go from strength to strength.
