What we look for

Talent gets our attention. Character keeps it.

We look at the whole player: how they solve problems, respond to feedback, and contribute to the group. Your willingness to learn matters.

Technical ability
Comfort on the ball and the foundations to build on.
Game intelligence
Awareness, decision-making, and understanding of space.
Competitiveness
The energy to challenge yourself and lift the standard.
Coachability
A willingness to listen, adapt, and try again.
Strong character
Respect for teammates, coaches, and the game.

Know what to expect

A clear next step. At every stage.

Start a conversation
Tell us your player’s age, experience, and goals. We’ll explain the next evaluation opportunity.
Come ready to play
Bring cleats, shin guards, and water. Arrive early and bring a willingness to learn.
Get honest feedback
The coaches evaluate development needs and discuss the right next step. Selection is not guaranteed.

The right group. Room to grow.

Gioca works with players from U7 to U18. Groups and team placements consider age, ability, and each player’s development. Share your child’s date of birth and the coaches will help you find the right fit.
