Teaching Philosophy and Methodology

The game of soccer serves as an excellent teacher for learning how to play GS Soccer Academy adopts a player-centered approach to create a learning environment that emphasizes the four core milestones of youth soccer development:

Reality-Based –  Players need a repertoire of meaningful experiences. We strive to create a training environment where players can engage in the four key moments of the game attacking, transitioning from attacking to defending defending and transitioning from defending to attacking all of which mirror real soccer scenarios.

Holistic –  Young players have varying needs as they grow. We take a long-term view of player development that encompasses their physical, emotional, cognitive, and psychosocial needs. We believe that soccer can help build lifelong character.

Experiential – We want our players to learn through playing soccer, reflecting on their actions, and receiving feedback from both coaches and teammates. This hands-on approach allows players to develop valuable skills such as sharing experiences, problem-solving and collaboration

Autonomy Support – We provide an environment where players have the autonomy to make decisions and take ownership of their own self-development. We encourage creative choices, as they offer different perspectives that ultimately benefit the team.

Our Values

We believe that by investing in the youth of today, we are shaping confident, skilled soccer player who are not only prepared for success on the field but also equipped with valuable life lessons that will benefit them for years to come.

Our Style of Play

We firmly believe that a team that maintains greater ball possession is more likely to create scoring opportunities. To achieve this, we promote a dynamic style of play that incorporates relentless high pressing to win back possession quickly, a midfield that values ball control and fluid passing sequences, and a well-organized defensive line that remains compact to provide
protection and balance on the field. This approach allows for greater control of the game and creates multiple avenues for attacking play
