TECHNICAL AND PHYSICAL SPORTS DEVELOPMENT.
COACH GALE SPORTS FITNESS
“Standard teams work on team training during team time. However, Coach Gale's program is about the player and their technical and physical capacities. Quickfeet, agility, plyometrics, eye-hand-foot coordination, and proper form are our speciality. Small groups and better coach-to-athlete ratios are our aim. We can help you be a better athlete while on the soccer pitch, football field, or basketball court."

Upcoming Tracks
All tracks are 6 (six) credit hours long. Some groups are 1 hour long. Other groups may be up to 2 hours long.
Specific dates and locations are communicated to those that are enrolled.
Each week, we cover a single component of the selected track and then provide take-home exercises to further their personal development. Following weeks begin with a slight review of the previous weeks before progressing to the next phase of our curriculum.
Every athlete is eventually provided with a SSR (Standard Soccer Rating) that shows the athlete where their skills are rated for self evaluation and improvement.
ABOUT COACH GALE
At a young age, I naturally picked up sports to later participate in track, football and basketball at a varsity level, lettering in all. Soccer, however, became my forte to which I also played 4 (four) seasons at the University of Valley Forge. I have continued to play in leagues across Pittsburgh including PA-WEST, Hempfield Rec, PISA and Norwin Adult Soccer. I've coached children as young as age 2 (two), coached multiple high school sports, headed college soccer teams, assistant a college basketball team and have programmed my own leagues and tournaments. I hold three different coaching certifications and a masters degree in organizational leadership. Working with young people has been my passion since high school.
