Global Sports Partners congratulates Stadio Football Academy on their One-Year Anniversary! Joel Ballejos, a GSP representative and the academy director, has grown Stadio to serving over 100 players, from 5-year olds to working professionals. Stadio provides excellent training at every practice through strong organizational values and a passion for sport and player development.
Led by two Argentine Technical Directors, Kelo and Dama, and four Indian coaches, the academy has created an exceptional culture that develops each athlete as a person and as a player. The players proudly wear their jerseys and excitedly arrive at the trainings! Over the last year camaraderie and friendship has grown between coaches, players, and parents.
“The class is fantastic, and my son is thoroughly enjoying playing with them [Stadio]. The coaches are highly professional and have excellent strategies. I highly recommend it for football enthusiasts.” Parent of a Stadio Football Academy player
Stadio held events and participated in different leagues and competitions over the past year. One instance during the U11 league highlights Stadio’s impact on character as well as football development. Before one of the matches a boy from the academy came to the huddle and read a speech that he wrote about what his coaches mean to him and the importance of his teammates in his life. He was so happy to be able to share with his team!
“From a dream to a reality, the football academy has been a venue for sports in India, for training for kids, and for growth personally as we build this business and football culture in our city.” Joel Ballejos, GSP Representative and Academy Director
The Academy is currently working at two different venues and is looking to expand the hours they offer training. Through the success Stadio has seen, they are primed to grow their current programs, to move into more competitive areas in football, and to explore opportunities in other areas and in other sports.
