BUSC Rec Soccer Spring Academy - 2025

Play-Practice-Play format (see below).

 

PLAY 1 - Coaches will organize players into games to have focused play and coach observes and guides them towards developing their own solutions.

PRACTICE - Practice activities should be of appropriate challenge, resemble the game, involve the players making decisions and allow for creative problem solving. The coaching role during this phase is to guide players while using teaching actions.

PLAY 2 - Play again This phase offers players the opportunity and freedom to play, without interruption, in an environment that mirrors the actual game. The focus of the final Play phase is to encourage players to express themselves and demonstrate what they learned during the Practice phase. The coach will observe and guide using minimal dialogue.

Friday sessions will be oriented around a short warm-up and playing small-sided games with the focus being the same topic as the previous Monday session.

What is futsal? Futsal is a fast-paced game played on a hard surface with continuous end-to-end action. Each team has five players on the court at a time: one goalkeeper and four court players. Some might liken it to basketball played with a soccer ball and a larger net.

I believe futsal is an incredibly beneficial component in the development of a soccer player. It offers players the opportunity to enhance their technical ball skills, becoming more comfortable with dribbling and executing skills at high speed. Moreover, it sharpens their insight and accelerates their decision-making abilities in game situations.

I am thrilled to be leading our club's futsal program. This is a fantastic opportunity to advance our players' development and take their skills to the next level.
