Interview with Gustav Einarsson, owner of Texas Sports Academy | |
The Dallas Chapter of SACC -Texas met up with Gustav Einarsson, owner of Texas Sports Academy.
 Texas Sports Academy was started in August 2010. The concept is originally from Sweden. During the spring 2011 we have our first tuition semester with practice groups of children, 4-9 years old, in Dallas. Our idea for parents / children is to try out different sports (5-10 different sports) during one or more semesters. The parents pay one fee for the semester to TSA for trying our the different sports, instead of paying different fees to different programmings of sports.
