I played on GSI’s 16u National Green Team. I had a great season. The group of coaches and staff at GSI are welcoming and kind. Everyone is always positive and uplifting. The coaches are very knowledgable and actually teach volleyball. They take the time to explain the how and the why. The amount of growth I’ve had in just one season at GSI has already put me in communication with colleges for recruitment. The coaches at GSI are very knowledgable in the recruiting process and they’re always willing to help. I’ve been playing volleyball for 6+ years and there’s nothing like GSI in the area. I’m so grateful GSI came to Sarasota County.End of season recap: GSI 16u Green placed 8th in the state for USAV. We always played in the Open Division at qualifying tournaments for the best college recruitment exposure. We took 3rd place in gold in the top division at Florida Regionals.

We came this summer from Romania to visit our relatives and decided to try a camp for our niece. After some research and also some recommendations from friends in Europe, we chose GSI. She had a couple of sessions with Coach Yuri and also joined a two-day positional camp. She liked it very much and told us it was the best experience she had so far.The feedback she received from Coach Yuri was more than she ever got before, very clear and helpful. We are thankful for this experience and for sure we will come back next summer.

This place is awesome! I love Alex, Yuri and their team! Top coaching, top facility, forward thinking and family focused. Anyone that creates fake Google accounts and negative reviews - easy to see through you! Keep working hard GSI!

GSI has been an incredible experience for us this season. As both a parent and coach, I’ve seen firsthand how passionate and knowledgeable the staff is. The coaches bring high-level experience and, more importantly, genuinely invest in their athletes. If your child is ready to work hard and grow, this is the place to be.Like any new program, GSI has had its learning curve—but they’ve welcomed feedback, owned the challenges, and continue to improve and evolve as an organization.My 12-year-old has made tremendous progress this year—even with some obstacles—and we’re already looking forward to next season. GSI is doing great things, and I highly encourage you to come see for yourself what they’re building.

Our experience with GSI has been very disappointing. After registering for the season, we were informed of a change in the coach, a major decision that was made after our commitment, without prior notice or any opportunity for discussion. This lack of transparency was our first red flag. Unfortunately, the organization and communication throughout have been extremely poor. We did not receive the quality we were promised. Our expectations, based on the initial information provided, were not met in any way. We truly hope GSI takes this feedback seriously and works toward building a more respectful and well-organized environment, where families feel informed and valued. At this time, however, we would not recommend the program based on our personal experience.
