Barcelona USA - Northern California

What’s the Winter Futsal Program?
Futsal Soccer Training is indoor soccer using a smaller dead weight ball and less players on the field. Our licensed coaches, along with elite guest coaches, will run the players through skills training with a focus on developing Messi style 1v1 moves to beat an opponent and developing stronger passing and turns that will enable players to leave an opponent in the dust. The majority of each session will be spent playing small sided futsal games.

Why Futsal?
• It maximizes and increases player’s touches and time on the ball
• Maximizes active participation and minimizes inactivity and boredom through its small number of players and fast pace
• Focus is on fun, 1v1 creativity, skill, control, movement, speed of play, technique, and tons of scoring opportunities
• Recommended by US Soccer and popular in foreign countries for player development
