The Academy

Our philosophy concerns the individual evolution of the athlete, in the sports area as well as in human relations. All our methods are centered and aligned with major European clubs, especially the Portuguese teams.

LOCATION

The centrality and accessibility brought by the construction of the Vasco da Gama bridge is an advantage in the positioning of this municipality in the Setúbal region, particularly for the enhancement of its natural resources and riverside area, becoming an attraction for the establishment of new equipment, companies and residents.

Moita is a Portuguese village in the district of Setubal and the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon, with 19,998 inhabitants (2021).
It is the administrative center of the municipality of Moita with 55.26 km² of area and 66 262 inhabitants (2021) subdivided into 4 parishes.

Among a wide range of activities developed by artisans in the county, many of them brought from other regions of the country by the waves of migrants who settled here, such as tinsmithery, basketry, pottery, among others, the most emblematic of the county of Moita is the construction of miniature boats typical of the Tagus river in the parishes of Gaio-Rosário and Sarilhos Pequenos.

Pieces such as “varinos”, “faluas” and “fragatas” are skillfully reproduced to scale by former seafarers, whose early life pushed them to work on these vessels. They started as “young men” at the age of nine or ten, then they became “comrades” and later “boat captains”, the three possible stages of this ancient activity that consisted in transporting goods and people between the southern and northern banks of the Tagus River. The typical decorations are a must to embellish these boats, where the bright colors of the paint illustrate landscapes, religious scenes, numbers, letters, and flowers.

Studies

The studies in school are as important, or even more important, than the sports side. For this reason, PSA encourages all its school-age athletes to continue their studies. For this purpose, we have a study center that offers a wide range of options, including language courses, ongoing graduation, and educational courses.

The achieved protocols in the areas of education will allow for studies never to be left behind, thus maintaining the high level of sports and schooling.
