FutsalRVA is excited to announce our Winter Development Training program for players U9-U12 (20011-2014). This program is for any boys and girls wanting to learn, enjoy and play the game of FUTSAL indoors during the winter months. Players new to the game will have a chance to sign up individually, be placed in skill appropriate groups, and train for 8 weeks with our FutsalRVA qualified staff. Each player will then be placed on a developmentally appropriate team and will participate in a level appropriate division of the FutsalRVA winter league, which boast more than 200 teams from Richmond and beyond

All players are required to train in FutsalRVA uniforms. You can order your uniform by clicking here. Please note Puma does run very small and there are samples at Own Touch. Soccer-Post places orders on Mondays and it takes 1-2 weeks to arrive.

Program Description:

This Developmental Winter 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 8 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 8 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 Winter 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.
