All players at Steven Gerrard Academy Alicante will be given the chance to take part in amazing experiences. We think it’s essential that players value their time with us and create great memories whether that is on a football tour, meeting elite professionals from the industry or visiting professional clubs.
Dallas Cup
Each year, Steven Gerrard Academy are invited to take a number of squads to the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup tournament, known as the most prestigious youth football tournament in the world. We are one of only 3 providers in the UK to receive this invitation.
Global Showcase
In 2021, we created the Steven Gerrard Academy Global Showcase event. Many professionals or former professionals, scouts, coaches, managers and important figures within the game attended the event to watch boys and girls squads play in competitive fixtures.
Global Coaches Conference
Being paid to travel the world is often a dream for many young people. Steven Gerrard Academy work very closely with LLS to make that dream a reality. Each year in November, Steven Gerrard Academy and LLS welcome active employers to present their job offers to our students. Our most recent event saw students secure personal training internships in Dubai as well as multi-sports coaching jobs in USA, Canada, China, Sri Lanka and Qatar.
Industry Networking
Our many years of operating have allowed us to create unique and valuable links with clubs and important figures in the industry. We have great relationships with Spanish football clubs throughout the league system. For player pathways and networking opportunities in the UK, we have strong relationships with Rangers FC, Wigan Athletic, Fleetwood Town, Swansea City, Brentford FC and Blackpool FC just to name a few. Such links allow us to give our players the opporunity to impress against them in high profile fixtures or to visit the clubs and experience how they operate in different areas.
Away from clubs, we have created a number of other fantastic links to help students gain access into different areas within the industry. A perfect example being The Anfield Wrap who employed one of our students full-time in her dream role within football media.
