"One of the girls on the team was being bullied and reached out to get adult support. I emailed the school to let them know what was going on, which resulted in discussions between the principal, parents, and a teacher. A few weeks later the parents of this girl reached out to let me know that she and her classmates were no longer being bullied and she wasn't crying herself to sleep anymore. Sometimes all it takes is to be an advocate to create a gentle push and have the chips fall nicely in line."

-Coach Lisa

GOTR NOVA is eagerly preparing for the start of the spring 2024 season, which is just around the corner. Program registration closes TOMORROW, February 27, at 11:59 p.m. In addition to the typical buzz and excitement around a new season, GOTR NOVA is thrilled to use the new program curriculum, Hello Superstar! GOTR participants will still receive the same core concepts, but with new and more current scenarios.

If you have or know someone who has a 3rd - 8th grader in Northern Virginia, consider joining us this season!
