Futsal

LEAD SOCCER is glad to announce our Futsal program for the winter of 2025 season at IDS School in Middlefield, CT, which will be directed and coached by Andrei Popescu. Futsal is a quick dynamic game extremely popular in Europe & South America. The essence of futsal is to provide players with the opportunity to be part of an efficient and fast-paced environment that develops excellent ball control, split-second improvisation & creativity.

This program is designed for players of all levels. Our coaching staff will create a learning environment that focuses primarily on skill development. One of the main benefits of our Futsal clinics is to work on players' individual skills where coaches have limited time to teach during regular team practices throughout the season.

Our main goal for this program is to continue developing player's skills through the magical and fast phase of the Futsal game. Futsal popularity is growing due to its quick results and positive effects it has on players’ development. Futsal is a quick style of soccer popular in Europe and South America.

The essence of futsal is the efficiency with split-second improvisation, creativity, and technique. Futsal is played on a small, indoor court with a smaller (size 3), heavier ball that doesn't bounce much. This process allows players to quickly settle the ball on the ground and keep it on their feet.
