Football at GIS

The GIS Football Programme offers year-round opportunities for students to play, develop, and enjoy football at every level. Our whole-school offering spans 25 teams from Grade 2 to Grade 12, for both boys and girls, giving every student a clear route into the game.

We cater for all abilities through a structured pathway: A teams compete in DASSA’s performance and competitive leagues, B teams compete in DASSA’s development leagues, and beginners build their skills through development sessions led by our experienced external coaching providers. This means every student, regardless of starting point, has a genuine opportunity to progress.

Our facilities reflect this ambition. Students train and compete on a full-size 11-a-side 4G pitch and four 7-a-side 4G pitches, supported by strength and conditioning training and performance analysis technology- resources that put GIS football on par with the region’s leading school programmes.

Coaching is led by a team of football specialists holding elite FA and UEFA qualifications, ensuring every student, from beginner to elite performer, is developed by coaches with genuine expertise in the game.

Above all, the programme is built to develop the whole player. Alongside technical and physical growth, students gain social skills, teamwork, and a theoretical understanding of the game, preparing them not just to compete, but to become well-rounded athletes.
