Will just using Futsal suddenly develop footballers with sublime technique? No, but used as a major component, along with excellent Sala Soccer coaching, a nurturing environment and as part of a person-centered approach, Futsal can and will have a significant impact on the development of young footballers in this country. It is not a case of just using a different ball. The methods and techniques we use from Futsal will improve your child far quicker than traditional methods used by most soccer coaches.
Vic Hermans, former Netherlands futsal international and FIFA futsal coach says, “Futsal is the basic for the development of a football player.” Hank Steinbrecher, former Secretary General of U.S. Soccer and current member of U.S. Futsal’s National Board of Directors also states that, “For those who know the game and have coached it, Futsal is infinitely better preparation for the outdoor game. Futsal really does teach a higher level of skill than whacking the ball off the wall.”
Sala Soccer School believe in Futsal and the impact it can have on a player’s development, and the proof being the number of children scouted and signed by local pro clubs in the last six years is ninety eight (98) children (boys and girls) from Sala Soccer Tameside alone since 2010, as of June 2019.
Sala Soccer Schools is an FA Charter Standard Development Club. We only use FA and UEFA Licenced Coaches.
