Club Educational Elements

Portuguese lesson
Mastering the Portuguese language is an essential element that helps you integrate into our training and make the best out of your football internship experience in Brazil. Our Portuguese teacher speaks fluent English and follows a curriculum with a focus on football. The lessons are “one-to-one” and our teacher uses videos, cards, charts etc… to make the learning fun. Homework is given and your learning is monitored continuously.

Introduction to Sports Science
Brazil exports more than 1000 professional football players to foreign countries every year, but do you know that our coaches, physical trainers and physiotherapists are also very active in the world of football? In partnership with the Centro de Ciências da Saúde e do Esporte (Center of Heath and Sport Sciences) of the Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (Santa Catarina State University), you will attend a half-day course on introduction to sports science. Who knows? You might one day become the next Mourinho or Guardiola!

Sports management exposure
A professional football club has many working areas beside the department of football. In order to make a Série A match happen in our Ressacada Stadium in a secure and comfortable manner, we need the support of professionals in the areas such as maintenance, finance, customer service, legal, marketing etc… We offer a one-day administrative exposure in our club to show you the back stage of glamorous Brazilian football.

Being a part of our social actions
According to reports from Ministry of Social Development, there were 11,311 families with revenue less than 50% of the minimum salary in Florianopolis. It is expected that almost 20% of the children and teenagers of the Greater Florianopolis are currently living in an inadequate housing structure and considered to be in social risk. Our club makes a visit to socially challenged areas, children’s shelters and orphanages. You will be invited to be a part of our social actions in these institutions.
