Futsal is a fast-paced game focused on transitions and an attack mentality.  The smooth surface creates an environment that forces quick movement, and quick decisions in tighter space.  Players will develop motor and cognitive skills on the court.  With a smaller, heavier ball, the game is played on the ground, which means more touches on the ball and less worry about head injuries.

Futsal is a fast-paced game focused on transitions and an attack mentality. The smooth surface creates an environment that forces quick movement and quick decisions. Players will develop motor, tactical, social, and cognitive skills on the court.

With a smaller, heavier ball, the game is played on the ground, which means less worry about head injuries. The futsal will bring more confidence to the kids because they will be exposed to success and mistakes during the playing time.

Our program will provide the kids access to high-level coaches and training sessions linking to the style of play and philosophy of the Philadelphia Union Academy.
