"Futsal for Futbol"
IS Vela Soccer Academy
We specialize in all areas of development

Futsal was created in Brazil, a country known for their technical prowness, while having fun, passion and excitement with every touch of the ball. Claiming “Joga Bonito” and “Ginga”, Brazil reveals “playing beautifully” at the highest of soccer levels. Pele is best known for his Ginga – and who better to emulate? Futsal is a form of street soccer. It is a fast game played on a hard surface or a small court, where elements of soccer are played in tight space with higher levels of repetition on the ball. Futsal emphasizes speed of play, sharp/clean skills, as well as a keen sense of fast thinking and soccer tactics. IF coached properly, futsal has a direct relationship to soccer, over time and development, on the big field, and players can improve dramatically through purposeful training. We, at Vela Soccer Academy, have created a proven method, from our years of coaching experience. It is a hybrid of futsal, that directly translates onto the soccer field, both technically and tactically. We can take ANY player of ANY starting level, who loves to play and train hard, and help them improve exponentially over time and with consistency of training.
