What is SUSA?
We are a multi-cultural, international Soccer-Community in Vienna, comprising of Camps during the school holidays (Easter-Summer-Autumn) for kids between 5 and 14 years old.
A Kids-Academy (4-13 years old), which runs after-school, or on a Saturday morning during the school year. And a competitive League Setup (under 10-11-12-13-14-15-16-18 & Adults team) registered in and recognised by the Austrian Football Federation, UEFA & FIFA.
Our aim is to improve each of our player’s skills in an appropriate environment according to their respective level and goals, applying the most up-to-date methods of sport science and neuroscience.
We not only aim to develop their specific soccer skills, but also the mental and emotional aspects crucial for their daily lives and futures. We also individually coach high performance athletes and private customers, who want to profit from our unique methods and knowledge base.
Therefore our holistic teaching approach is based on those 4 developing principles:
Mental
Positive Attitude is the key to success & happiness. SUSA players get to learn the importance of mental strength, dedication and determination.
Our trainings require a high level of concentration with academic benefits and stress reduction among others.
Physical
Our experienced Coaching Team takes care of the player's age specific physical needs. A proper development of Agility, Speed and Explosiveness are crucial for the young players. Injury prevention is a priority in our trainings.
Emotional
The emotional development of our players is one of the highest priorities in our Academy. Praising is the key for adequate Neurofunctionality and for further development of confidence and a good self-esteem. Mistakes are an important part of the learning process.
Cognitive
Our exercises and trainings promote and develop the general motor skills of our players. Orientation, Coordination, Reaction, Decision Making.
The benefits of Neuroplasticity are enormous!
SUSA programs unite Boys, Girls and dedicated Coaches from across the globe creating a rich and vibrant multi-cultural explosion of "Rock'n'Roll" Soccer - it's not enough to just kick a ball at SUSA!
Our "soccer students" are encouraged to express and develop their own unique and individual approach to the beautiful game, whilst also understanding and appreciating the benefits of TEAM-WORK and other team sports values.
Soccer is ART, Soccer is ENTERTAINMENT, Soccer is HONESTY, Soccer is FUN!
So make your Soccer Dream a reality! Bring along your passion, your energy and your biggest SMILE!
We will do the rest!
Our training, workshops, courses and camps take place at the premium facilities of @Sportcenter Donaucity Arbeiterstrandbadstraße 128, 1220 Vienna. U1 Alte Donau.
The most beautiful sport facility in Vienna, just behind the United Nations.
During the winter time, the Saturday Program takes place indoors in the UniCredit Center am Kaiserwasser.

Competitive League
We love to see our little Soccer Superstars rising high. Some of them need a serious competition to rise even higher. Therefore we have been taking the necessary steps to bring our competitive branch to the next level in Austria and abroad. Our selection under 13 participates regularly in the Varta Cup in Haag during the summer, competing at the highest level in Austria. For our U14 and U16 teams we travel on Easter abroad to participate in the Mediterranean International Cup (MIC) in Costa Brava, Catalonia Spain. Who has got the chance to play vs Liverpool U16s? Yes we did! Last year we even qualified into the round of the last 16 teams.
At the moment our U14-15-16-18 teams are fighting for the promotion into the A Viennese Division. SUSA finished second in the general table "Gesamtwertung" and our U16s and our Adults Rocks Team KM finished on top of the table during the Autumn Season. Have a look at the links below and check how our teams are doing at the moment
Individual Trainings
In addition to all our group training options we also provide the possibility to book individual training. This provides to our customers (beginners or high performing athletes) the chance to receive a training tailored just for their specific needs according to their age and current level.
Our approach emphasise on technical ability, cognitive skills and quick decision making.
Especially the appliance of Neuroscience in sports for mental and emotional development plays a huge role. Depending on your thoughts, feelings and emotions you can get into the zone of absolute focus and awareness.
The following hormones and neurotransmitters make it possible. Epinephrine increases alertness, Acetylcholine focus & Dopamine is the key for our brain-motor functionality and further motivation and development. But how can you activate them?
MINDSET IS EVERYTHING! Everything is possible but you must believe!
Every thought has an impact on our health and performance. During our individual trainings our athletes receive an introduction into Mindfulness, Meditation and Visualisation techniques.
The aim of our exercises is to really challenge the brain of our players. Only after mistakes it's possible to achieve the highest possible level of concentration and further learning effects.
Results:
Better cognitive skills, concentration, attention, coordination, faster decision making, higher motivation, more creativity, stress resistance and stress reduction, Also Higher self esteem, confidence, determination, consciousness, resilience and better performance on the field but also better IQ results and school grades.
