TESTIMONALS

WHY CHOOSE GFI ACADEMY

My daughter has had an amazing first season with her GFI family! Her growth in just a couple months has been absolutely remarkable! These coaches and staff really put a lot into our kids and I couldn’t ask for a better organization to be a part of. From free nutrition coaching to individual player development programs, they really care about building our players!
Come to tryouts and see what GFI is all about!!

Ashley B.

Excellent player development. This club will turn your child into an intelligent player, not just physical kickball. All the coaches are paid and have some level of collegiate or professional experience that are focused on the development of the kids and not just winning. Very happy to be a part of this club!

A.G.

We paid for a week long camp for my 9 year old son, Who is an experienced club level soccer player. We actually have taken part in camps at both locations. The coaches are professional and also patient. They help raised my sons skills to the next level. Highly recommended.

David F.

We joined GFI academy at its inception in 2023, I have nothing but positive things to say!! We were previously with a different very popular club for years. After joining GFI my son has improved his skills SO MUCH it’s amazing. The training at GFI is top notch, you can tell the coaches WANT to be there and are treated very well. It’s so nice that my kids LOVE to go to practice instead of fighting me to go! My son’s team has such a family feel, the boys all build each other up constantly and it’s so amazing to see. We love GFI!!!

Elizabeth S.

By far the best Soccer Academy in Houston. Actually, the only one that works focused on the development of players. We’ve been in other clubs and the difference of coaches and methodology is massive. These guys know what they are doing. Besides, they are the only ones that have a MLS pathway what means that the kids that are part of the top teams have real good chances to get college scholarships. I strongly recommend this club!

Lucio V.

GFI has reignited my boys’ passion for soccer! The coaching is intentional and they work hard to encourage each player to meet their potential.

Kathryn D.

We joined GFI a year ago from a popular Houston based soccer club and have been EXTREMELY happy with GFI. The coaches are amazing and the skill development they put into the kids is incredible. Our kids love going to practice and being part of what GFI is building. Can't wait to see what the future holds with GFI!

Mark S.

Hands Down The Best Soccer Club in the Houston area for youth development. The club leadership and coaches actually understand what players need at different ages to help develop players. Unlike some other clubs that are just willing to take money knowing their system doesn’t actually deliver the development they claim.

GFI Academy also create an environment that supports positive personal growth, which is just as important because coaches have a HUGE influence on their players. Coaches shouldn’t be coaches to just create a game plan and make substitutions. Coaches need to be leaders and actually lead and teach their players.
