Galo Soccer AcademyOrlando · USAYouth soccer academy · Winter Garden, FL
Brazilian soccer DNA in Winter Garden. Boys and girls ages 4–16 train with a professional methodology — led by a head coach who played the game at the top.
Our story
Galo Soccer Academy was born in Orlando in September 2023 with one idea: bring the way Brazil develops players — technique, creativity, joy and discipline — to kids in Central Florida.
Today we are a family of players, parents and coaches who train three times a week at Crossline Park, compete in leagues and tournaments, and celebrate together — on and off the field.
It's more than soccer. It's about building character, shaping leaders and inspiring passion for the game. Be part of our journey. Be Galo.
Head coach
Coach Fabrício was born in São Paulo and built a professional career as a left-footed left-back who also played as a defensive midfielder and on the wings, lifting continental and national titles along the way.
Today he brings that real-game experience to Orlando: players learn not only technique, but how to think, play and compete at a higher level — with discipline, confidence and fun.
“We go beyond training — we build players with purpose.”
Marco Aurélio, owner, opened Galo Soccer Academy in Orlando in 2023.
