Train Where Professionals & National Champions TrainGrande Sports Academy is located on the campus of the $20 million Grande Sports World complex in Casa Grande, Arizona, just 45 minutes from Phoenix International Airport. Grande Sports World has quickly become one of the finest soccer training facilities in the country and serves as a training destination for the top youth, professional and national teams from around the globe. The U.S. Soccer Federation has named Grande Sports World the West Conference’s Best Training Facility for two consecutive years (2013 & 2014).

Grande Sports Academy, home of the nationally recognized Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy, is the only full time residential academy affiliated with a MLS team – Real Salt Lake. The Academy concentrates on developing highly competitive soccer players to become outstanding young men both on and off the field.

Grande Sports Academy offers focused residential camps throughout the year where campers play on professionally manicured fields, train in the 58,000 square feet state of the art performance center and are challenged each and every day to improve technically, tactically, physically and mentally while having fun.

Professional, Recognized & Accomplished

Immerse Yourself in Championship Level TrainingGrande 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.
