Portugal Sports Academy LLC

Portugal Sports Academy is a soccer program in southwest Las Vegas built around a European coaching methodology, meaning the club structures its training the way clubs in Portugal typically do, with certified coaches and age-specific sessions rather than one size fits all practices. The academy accepts players from age 3 to 19 and organizes them into three brackets, 3 to 6, 7 to 12, and 13 to 19, so a preschooler and a high schooler are never grouped into the same drill.

The program list is broad. Families can choose Little Champs for the youngest kids, Skill Builders and Developmental Programs for players working on fundamentals, and Competitive Teams for those ready to play against other clubs. Individual training and small group training are available for players who want focused reps outside of team practice, and there is a dedicated Goalkeeper Training track for kids who play that position. Futsal, the fast indoor version of soccer played on a smaller court, rounds out the offerings for players who want touches on the ball in the off season. Summer, winter, and spring camps give families options during school breaks as well.

The academy describes its approach as holistic development, meaning coaches say they work on more than technical skills during sessions, alongside the tactical training.

Hours run 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, so there is access most days of the week year round rather than a seasonal schedule. The facility is located at 6366 Montessouri St. in the 89113 zip code, in the southwest part of the valley. The listing places this program in the $$ price range, meaning moderate cost relative to other Las Vegas youth soccer options, though PlayPivot does not have a specific dollar figure on file for individual sessions or team fees. Coaching and instruction are conducted in English.
