FutsalRVA is excited to announce our Spring Development Training program for players U8-U12 (2009-2013). This program is for any boys and girls wanting to learn, enjoy and play the game of FUTSAL indoors during the spring. Players new to the game will have a chance to sign up individually, be placed in skill appropriate groups, and train for 6 weeks with our FutsalRVA qualified staff. Each player will then be placed on a developmentally appropriate team and will participate in a end of season game night against current FutsalRVA academy teams.

Program Description:

This Developmental Spring Program will provide futsal-specific training for players between 8-12 years old. The program is designed to be a comprehensive futsal experience that combines training and game play in a practice setting for 6 weeks in the spring. Some of our main objectives are to:

• Provide high quality developmentally appropriate training to improve soccer/futsal skills

• Provide an opportunity to play a competitive game after training where players can implement and apply the skills they learned (with the guidance of a FutsalRVA coach).

• Provide 1 quality training per week for 6 weeks

• Provide an end of season game night against current FutsalRVA academy teams,

• Provide quality training based on the FutsalRVA curriculum

• Continuously evaluate the progress of each player for opportunities within the FutsalRVA Academy.

• Have no more than 16 players in a training group and no more than 9 players on a team during game nights!

Benefits of Futsal and the spring Program:

Futsal naturally helps develop skills required for soccer: balance, motor ability, agility and co-ordination, ball mastery, accurate and quick passing and receiving, perception insight and awareness. Children learn skills through repetition, especially when they practice in tight areas while under pressure.

The appropriate training program can have a tremendous impact on the future success of a player and his or her passion for the game. The early mastery of technical skills is one of the most important elements in the development of youth players.

We at FutsalRVA welcome all players wanting to play and be a part of the wonderful game of futsal.
