Nadejda
Parent of GSI camper
We came this summer from Romania to visit our relatives and decided to try a camp for our niece. After some research and also some recommendations from friends in Europe, we chose GSI. She had a couple of sessions with Coach Yuri and also joined a two-day positional camp. She liked it very much and told us it was the best experience she had so far.
Amelia
GSI camper & club athlete
The amount of growth I’ve had in just one season at GSI has already put me in communication with colleges for recruitment. The coaches at GSI are very knowledgable in the recruiting process and they’re always willing to help. I’ve been playing volleyball for 6+ years and there’s nothing like GSI in the area. I’m so grateful GSI came to Sarasota County
Xan
GSI camper & club athlete
Hello, I would just like to say that GSI is the best. It is really helpful from the upstairs gym down ti the realy amazing coaches. I thought it would be nice to hear from a player not just a parent or an outsiders point of view. I have gotten so much better from just a half season, again I love the coaches they are really helpful and great! Thank you GSI!!
Gillian
mom of GSI campers & club athletes
The best way I can describe GSI is “World Class”- World Class coaches, world classes facilities, aiming to develop world class athletes. As a volleyball mom of 2 athletes who aspire to play at the highest level, having the opportunity to train at GSI is a no-brainer.
Isla
GSI camper & club athlete
I love Global Sports Institute! We are really a family, I’m so excited for this club season as an ambassador.
Jake Wilson
USC Beach Volleyball
My child did a 3 day camp and a small additional clinic. They had a great workout to begin. Though rigorous they still managed to have fun and laugh as well. The kids were able to train with different coaches and each were fantastic!
