“Futsal is extremely important for kids developing skills and understanding. My touch and dribbling come from playing Futsal. Futsal is an extremely important way for kids to develop their skills and understanding of the game.”
Ronaldinho, Brazil
Starting from Ages 4 to 8, the FCT Gators House League program is the only house league program in the GTA that focuses on Futsal. Like many European Football organizations, FCT believes that children learning to play and fall in love with the game should first start their journey playing Futsal.
The program also exposes our young stars to Outdoor Soccer as well. We fully implement the Canadian Soccer Association’s Long Term Player Development Plan and are members of the Peel Halton Soccer Association under the umbrella of The Ontario Soccer Association.
At this young age it is important for players to get as many touches on the ball as possible and at the same time provide a nurturing and fun environment so the young athletes not only learn how to play and develop skills, but also make fall in love with the game!
The program is specifically designed by Professional coaches to provide a solid technical foundation for players to build on. A structure is as strong as its foundation and we are strong believers of Futsal being the strong foundation.
The goal is to properly develop our young players so that they make a smooth transition into the REP program by U9.
“All players should learn to play soccer by playing Futsal. During my childhood in Portugal, all we played growing up was Futsal. The smaller court helped my footwork skills, the nature of the game made me feel so free when I played. If it wasn’t for Futsal, I would definitely not be the player I am today.”
Ronaldo, Portugal
