What is Futsal? 

Futsal is a variant of soccer played (mainly) indoors on a hard court slightly larger than a basketball court, with two teams of five players each, including a goalkeeper. It uses a smaller, heavier, low-bounce ball and is recognized by FIFA as the official indoor soccer game. Futsal is played with touchlines as boundaries and without walls or boards, at a faster pace than soccer, allowing for more touches and generally resulting in higher scores. It is played in over 100 countries worldwide by 12 million players.

Skills Development: It provides players with more touches on the ball and more opportunities to develop foot skills and improve the first touch.

Creativity: Taking risks and becoming creative with the ball is something players may not have the chance to do on a regular soccer field.

Speed and Decision Making: The continuous, fast-paced nature of this sport allows players to sharpen their spatial intelligence and develop the understanding of the game.

This camp has a limit of 14 players per timeslot. 

Dates: December 1st - January 30th. There will be NO sessions during UCPS Winter Break (December 22-26 & December 29- January 2). No session January 19th as it is a UCPS holiday.

PRAA's Club Soccer Program is dedicated to the proper development and training of our players. In the Classic Soccer Program there will be a heavier emphasis on the competitive side of our soccer program. The players will receive a more advanced training regimen with a greater focus on the technical and tactical aspects of the game. The players are expected to hold themselves to a higher standard and are pushed by the coaching staff to continue developing their talent and skill. Players are expected to attend ALL practices and games.  

 

The Club Soccer Program is operated and played under the umbrella of the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association. Our club is grouped in the "West" region of North Carolina. There are 4 divisions in the league, Third, Second, First and Premier. Teams can be promoted and relegated to divisions. By participating in the Classic Leagues teams can expect greater competition which helps the players develop more dynamically by playing teams from across the West region of the state.

 

All PRAA soccer teams are coached by trained and knowledgeable coaches. We take our coaches "soccer education" very seriously. All coaches are encouraged to continue developing their coaching knowledge and experience each year and many have obtained various levels of licensing. As the players grow and develop, the coaches must also follow the same suit. The coaching staff is carefully selected to meet the needs and abilities of the players. Our Coaching staff aims to be effective in the implementation of an age and developmentally tuned curriculum that is specific for our players in our club which follows in compliance with The United States Soccer Federation.  

THE NCYSA Youth Academy program is a place to advance your individual skills, while having fun with your teammates.
