WELCOME TO

PETER BRADLEY
We ask our players to practice whenever possible as each extra touch of the ball will make a difference. Repetition of key techniques is vital to your improvement and this does not alter with age. If you work hard, GPS will do all we can to give you the tools to reach your personal goals. Very little in life is achieved without hard work, sacrifice and perseverance - no matter how difficult the task may seem.
Our players must understand the GPS philosophy and the reasons why we endeavor to play with the style that we do. We have an identity that has taken a number of years to develop and we are proud to be respected for the way we play. We must always show respect in defeat as well as in victory and any such victory must be achieved by playing the GPS way. All GPS players are expected to respect their colleagues, opponents, officials, coaches and most of all themselves. Most importantly, play and train with enjoyment and intensity. There are always difficult decisions to be made in soccer and we will do all we can to make the correct one for each individual within our Club. No matter what the outcome may be, we want every player to remember their time at GPS with fondness and a sense of pride that they have represented us. May I take this opportunity of thanking you and your families for the support which you have given to GPS. I wish every single player the very best of luck in achieving their goals. Best wishes Peter Bradley, GPS Director of Coaching

GPS PREMIER
The second phase is for players between 13 & 17 years and is split into three levels - Elite, Select & Academy. While player development is still paramount in the Premier program, this is the phase where the emphasis transitions to competing to win. At 13 to 15 years there is still a focus on developing players from a technical, tactical, physical and psychological standpoint. At 16 years and above, winning begins to play a larger role on gameday however the focus is not winning at all costs. All GPS teams will demonstrate the desire and ability to win while sticking to the club style of play - attractive, possession-based soccer. The winning tradition that has been established over the past decade is based on each player improving significantly over the time they are with the club. All players in the GPS Premier program will conduct themselves at all times in accordance with the GPS Premier Team player code of conduct and all players will be treated as equals.

RESIDENTIAL CAMPS
All GPS teams between U12 and U15 will attend 2 residential camps per year. Residential camps are an ideal opportunity for our coaches to spend quality time with their teams in a controlled environment. The time is used to address technical and tactical elements in order to prepare teams for their competitive season. It is also an opportunity for important on and off-field bonding - developing relationships with new team-mates and solidifying existing relationships. A typical day at residential camp will consist of: High tempo technical training session. Tactical training session. Fitness & conditioning session. Game play. Set play rehearsal. Team-building activities. Evening sessions will include indoor tournaments, soccer tennis & social interaction.
