3v3 Freestyle Futsal: November 13 (Boys) - November 14 (Girls)
Curious to know how players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar develop their skills? From FUTSAL! That's the name of the game!
Some studies explored why certain areas of the world are talent hotspots for certain activities. After extensively studying the Brazilians, scholars and coaches determined that there was a misconception that the Brazilians got their skills from playing soccer at the beach. The cause for such talent came out of futsal.
So we combined two great tools for development that are small-sided games and futsal into one fun tournament! This environment helps develop players' creativity, decision-making and agility in a fast-moving game. It challenges players to use their strengths and turn them into strategies on a smaller court.
