Who we are

Gérard School of Football is the only specialist Football School of Excellence / Development Centre in Britain. The only genuine alternative to the FA system of player development in Britain. We are also working in association with one of England’s most successful Premier League Football Clubs Arsenal FC, operating global coaching organisation Arsenal Soccer Schools in the Humberside & East Riding of Yorkshire region. Our coaching curriculum is based on tried and tested philosophies and methods that are used by Head Coach, Arsène Wenger, who has been with the Club since 1996 and is widely regarded to be one of the world’s greatest coaches and is credited with transforming English football into the fast paced and technically beautiful game it is today.

Arsène’s coaching methodologies are not only applied to the first team but have been filtered through the Club; to the Arsenal Ladies - England’s most successful Ladies team, the Youth Academy – the future players of the Club, and to Arsenal Soccer Schools – the Club’s grassroots youth international football program.

Crucial to the GSF’s success is the selection and training of its coaches. All coaches are handpicked, certified and have a complete understanding of our coaching philosophy. To ensure the quality and consistency of the GSF training courses, all coaching professionals are required to participate in continuing educational programs, thus guarenteeing that the latest and most sophisticated football tuition is incorporated into our elite coaching philosophy.
