Our Philosophy

Our staff share a passion for the game that is transferred through to all participants. Players will be allowed to express themselves, play without fear of making mistakes, be encouraged to make their own decisions in sessions and discover the joy of football. We create a safe, open and positive learning environment, create opportunities for players to become active learners, giving them ownership of their problem solving and decision making processes. Activity is directed to the developmental age of the participant. Programs will be challenging but achievable, guaranteeing that each child leaves our course with a raised self esteem and most importantly experienced fun and enjoyment. Understand that all children learn in different ways and our coaches are trained in delivering our syllabus to all types of personalities and abilities so that each player can achieve their highest potential.

Reasons to Play Futsal

World class players like Ronaldo, Kaka and Fabregas have all developed by playing Futsal, so read on for more reasons to play this fast and exciting game, which promotes creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces. Here are severn simple reasons why you should play Futsal - join the global revolution now!

1. Rewards
Futsal develops the same basic technique, skills, tactics and knowledge of the game as the 11v11 outdoor game.

2. Ball touches
In a statistical study comparing futsal to indoor arena soccer with walls, players touch the ball 210% more often which will increase a player’s ball competency.

3. Ball control
With limited space, defined touchlines and constant opponent pressure, improved ball control technique and skills are required.

4. Speed of play
Constant opponent pressure and a 4 second restart law means players must learn to play and think fast, which develops intelligent players.

5.Continuity of play
Action is continuous and physically demanding, so players must continue the play instead of stopping and watching, which in turn develops physical conditioning.

6. Play well, play fair
The laws of the game of futsal, encourage playing skilfully and punish physical contact fouls. Gameplay also encourages respect for all players and officials.

7. Fun!
Futsal is a fast-paced, fun, skill-oriented game that tests your abilities at whatever level, whilst developing all-round individual technique.

Football Skills

Our training consists of regular weekly skills sessions for 4-11yr olds and a Saturday 5 a side Futbol Sala games programme for 5-11 yr olds, which is based on the one used across Spain.

Throughout the year we organise friendly games for our U'7 to U'11 groups against other quality soccer schools and Academy teams. We also take these age groups to domestic and elite tournaments across the UK & Europe. Our games and tournament programme means our boys are exposed to top UK and European standards of football.

Whilst this is a great experience on the pitch, the sense of team spirit and responsibility are great life lessons and this is often commented on by parents of the players.

All our skills sessions are indoors with a maximum class size of 24 with two qualified coaches. Our Futbol Sala games are played either indoors or on astroturf with no more than 5 a side, the use of futsals and a strict no slide tackling rule for all our children.

Our structure is based upon the following:

Little Amigo’s indoor skills schools every week for 4-6 yrs

• Junior indoor skills schools every week for 7-11yrs
• Spanish Soccer Schools Academy Teams u8-u11 to play in regular friendlies and quality tournaments across the UK and Europe
• Futsal Sala 5 a side mini games every week at regional venues close to the skills clinics
• Spanish Soccer skills factor end of year finals

Our Aims:

• To offer the biggest and the best programme of quality futsal skills coaching and 5 a side Futbol Sala to boys and girls aged 4-11yrs in the UK
• We strive to give all our players the best opportunities and best experiences possible to help them progress on and off the pitch
• To hold the best futbol sala festivals for children in the UK
• For Spanish Soccer Schools to be widely recognised for being enjoyable, fun and extremely rewarding.
