The BSA Futsal Model

Brevard Soccer Academy is fully embracing Futsal as part of our soccer culture. We at BSA believe that Futsal will help our players fall in love with the game of soccer and improve skills, techniques and speed of play. BSA has appointed Chris Felber as their Futsal Director.

Felber has won Futsal National titles in both Scotland and America, and multiple US Futsal and US youth Futsal regional titles, as well as many state titles in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Training Opportunities

  • Spring and Fall Futsal training for individual players – all levels including non-BSA players, through our own new Futsal Academy
  • Team Futsal training – (in place of, or an adjunct to soccer training) one-two times a week during Winter and summer months. Teams will compete in local leagues and/or State tournaments or other local tournaments.
  • Additional Select Regional teams will be formed to compete at the highest level under the BSA Mia San Futsal banner. They will compete in State, Regional and National championships. Selected non-BSA players may join the Regional teams as well. Coaches and the Director of Futsal will be responsible for Regional Team player selection.

Curriculum and Coaching

  • Our brand-new Futsal curriculum will have its methodology structured around the rules of Futsal and be fully transitional to outdoor soccer. There will be a wealth and variety of teaching techniques applied to develop foot skills, coordination, and attention to distribution. Players will learn to be more efficient on the ball, taking less steps and less touches to complete tasks. Be willing to hold up the ball, slow the ball down and speed the ball up. Striking the ball will improve and will be easier when returning to an outdoor ball.
  • Team shape and movement will be a huge focus. Both keeping shape and changing shape will be important. Adapting in games and during play to change and share positions. Integrated team plays and movement will be a part of learning how to play with payers in and around you. There is no hiding in Futsal. All players are involved pretty much all of the time.
  • A mix of our own BSA coaches and outside Futsal coaches will be part of a pool of Futsal trainers prepared to provide quality Futsal training and coaching. Coaches will receive instructional Futsal training from our Director, Chris Felber.

Brevard Soccer Academy is building a futsal court at Max K. Rodes Park. This will be the first of its kind in the area. Uruguay developed the idea of Futsal to help train for Olympics and the first ever World Cup through the winter. Uruguay went on to win the first ever FIFA World Cup and the popularity of Futsal has given the game worldwide popularity. Futsal has developed into its own professional sport with leagues, national teams and its own FIFA Futsal World Cup. Futsal is the only indoor version of Soccer recognized by FIFA.
