SC Gjøa - SABA

Soccer Club

Sporting Club Gjøa was founded in 1911 and has been a force in competitive soccer for many years. Gjøa Soccer Teams are based in Brooklyn, New York, and provide young players with a great environment to play great soccer. Many of its teams have gained recognition in such national tournaments as the Schwann's USA CUP in Minnesota and the Dallas Cup. Players have also represented Gjøa on the international level, playing in tournaments in Sweden and Norway. Many players have gone on to excel academically and athletically, playing in some of the country's top colleges and universities.

In 2006 Gjøa joined with SABA (Soccer At Its Best Academy) to train and coach all of its teams. It has been a great partnership, training and coaching  players in a common  philosophy under the direction of head coach, Harry Triana, and  administrator/coach, Jimmy Svendsen.
