Letter from Dan Gaspar

My life and my passion is soccer. SGA was created 25 years ago to educate and inspire goalkeepers at all levels, while CSS is one of the oldest continuously operated soccer schools in the nation entering its 40th year of existence. Together, these two soccer education organizations form a powerful combination to meet all the needs of today’s player.

SGA and CSS have earned their reputations as the most trusted name in soccer development. These schools have developed thousands of players throughout the world. Session by session, step by step, you will learn our principles of professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication.

As we look forward to a new year in 2022 we will offer our students an exciting training and educational experience. Our staff is ready to meet even higher standards. I invite you to join our family and share in our long-standing tradition of excellence. Our passion and commitment to soccer training and education remains unparallel. We encourage you to compare our programs to others; we are confident that you will discover that we offer tremendous value.

It is my mission to share my passion and knowledge, along with all that I have learned alongside world class players and coaches through-out my career.

Yours in soccer,

Dan Gaspar
