    Yes, private volleyball sessions with our master-coaches are open to all athletes regardless of club commitment! Please give us a call at 9415996283 to book your session

    We have three fantastic campus locations to serve the Southwest Florida community! You can find us in North Venice, Sarasota/Bradenton, and our newest campus in Naples (formerly Performance Volleyball Academy).

    In addition to our gym and courts, GSI offers exclusive amenities, including our Recovery Room, Coffee Campus café, spacious lounge areas, and secure locker rooms. We aim to create a complete wellness experience for our members from Sarasota, Manatee, Tampa, Naples, and all surrounding areas.

    Our Recovery Room, in partnership with Aquilo Sports, includes compression boots and sleeves for targeted heat and cold therapy, perfect for post-workout recovery. In addition, GSI offers a separate first aid room and an on-site physical therapist who serves both athletes and non-athletes.

    GSI is equipped with AI-based Technogym technology, including the REV series, renowned for its performance and safety. Technogym is the equipment of choice for Olympic athletes, and it adapts to each user’s needs, providing real-time feedback and personalized training for members from Tampa, Naples, Venice, Sarasota, and beyond.

    Our main Club Season (makeup tryouts are Aug 2nd!) is our most comprehensive program for dedicated athletes (U10-U18) ready to commit to a full season of elite training and competition. It includes multiple practices per week, regional and national tournaments, and full access to our holistic training resources. This is for the player who is serious about maximizing their potential.

    Our Fall Mini Club (tryouts are August 23rd!) is the perfect 8-week launchpad for younger athletes (ages 8-14, both boys & girls)! It's ideal for elementary/middle school players who don't have a school season and want to get game-ready for the main club season. With twice-a-week practices and two local tournaments, it's also a fantastic way for families to experience the GSI difference without the full-year commitment.

    Yes! GSI Academy, powered by SAI, is our full-time school program for dedicated middle and high school student-athletes. We combine a flexible, NCAA & Cognia accredited virtual curriculum with intensive, daily on-court training and on-site academic support. It's the ultimate solution for serious athletes who want to excel in both their sport and their studies without compromise.

    Our coaching staff is our greatest asset. We are led by true professionals with incredible backgrounds. Our club directors, Yury Shakirov (a European Cup Champion and "Master of Sport" at age 15) and Dexter Rogers (a former USA National Team Player of the Year who has coached over 75 athletes to the NCAA level), set the standard. Our coaches have lived the game at the highest levels and are passionate about mentoring the next generation.

    We believe in coaching the whole athlete – their skills, their strength, and their mindset. Our philosophy is built on teaching players to understand the "why" behind the "how." We focus on building court IQ, fostering resilience, and instilling a culture of hard work and mutual respect. We challenge our athletes in a supportive environment, believing that pressure, when applied correctly, reveals potential.
