Hello, my name is Anthony Villegas, and I am the Futsal Director at Ballistic United. Additionally, I am the 2014 Premier Coach and the 2009 MLS Next Coach. I have been coaching at Ballistic for over a decade and have dedicated the last six years to coaching futsal. My entire playing career was also spent at Ballistic United.

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.
