ELITE FUTSAL TEAMS PROGRAM

Futsal is the backbone of our approach to developing complete players. It is not a coincidence that Futsal is the primary developmental tool until players reach 13/14 years old in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, and many other countries that develop elite soccer professionals. 

At Playmaker Lab we seek to empower players by providing an elite competitive futsal environment and top-level coaching. These Elite Futsal Teams are by invitation only and only 10 - 12 players are accepted per team. We seek to recruit high-level competitive players in the Bay Area to develop their futsal foundations and skill sets. For the 2024 - 2025 Season, we will have teams for the 2014 - 2009 age groups.

"During my childhood in Portugal, all we played was futsal... The small playing area helpmed me improve my close control, and whenever I played futsal I felt free. If it wasn't for futsal I wouldn't be the player I am today"

"In futsal, you need to think quickly and play quickly so it's easier for you when you move to normal football."

“In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. In normal football you don't necessarily identify talent as easily because it's so much more physical. But with futsal, you notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding."
