Immerse Yourself in Championship Level Training
Grande Sports Academy has built an organization that sets the bar for performance, winning the
2013 USSDA U-15/16 National Championship and producing only one of three teams in the
country to reach the USSDA Playoffs every year since 2011 in both the U-15/16 and U-17/18 age
groups. Grande Sports Academy has developed a well-respected, award-winning, successful style
of attractive attacking soccer. This culture of success, professional atmosphere and approach to
training and competition is what Grande Sports Academy coaches and players call learning to “play
the championship way” and following the club’s mantra: As One.
GSA camps provide a competitive playing and learning environment where players receive
instruction and direction from former professional players and experienced championship coaches,
addressing all four dimensions of the game:
1.Technical Sessions will provide professional training
that incorporates the technical side of the game (passing,
receiving, dribbling, crossing, finishing, 1v1 defending,
etc.), avoiding repetitive & monotonous activities.
2.Tactical Players are put in game-like situations,
answering questions produced during the exercises.
With guidance from the coaches, we look to increase the
player’s soccer IQ, raising their ability to “read the game”.
3.Physical Three-a-day sessions are organized to ensure
that the player’s aerobic base is increased, while
simultaneously safeguarding against over-exertion.

4.Psychological The residential aspect of the camp
emulates the full-time academy setup, encouraging
the player to become more independent, disciplined
and mature while doing so in a safe and structured
environment.
