ACADEMY PROGRAM IN ASHEVILLE

Futsal TA is bringing Brazilian futsal methodology to Western North Carolina. Our Asheville academy trains boys and girls ages 7 to 17 on Sunday afternoons at IC Imagine, with year-round indoor sessions built around touches, speed of decision, and control under pressure.

Futsal is played on a hard court with a smaller, heavier ball. There is nowhere to hide and no long ball to chase. That is precisely why it builds technical players. Every session is organized by age and experience, so beginners find their feet while experienced players get pushed.

Sessions run year-round with no seasonal commitment, so families across Asheville, West Asheville, Candler, Enka, Leicester, Arden and Weaverville can keep developing through the winter without waiting on field conditions.

Why Futsal works — Backed by the Numbers

6x

More Touches

Youth futsal players touch the ball up to six times more per session than in traditional outdoor soccer — perfect for developing control, rhythm, and footwork.

210%

More Decisions

Futsal’s tight spaces require players to make decisions 210% faster, improving their game IQ and reaction speed — skills that translate directly to outdoor play.

30+

Million Players

Futsal is played by over 30 million people worldwide and is the go-to method for developing top talent in countries like Brazil and Spain.

4x

More shots

With fewer players and a smaller court, players get four times more chances to attack, shoot, and score — giving them confidence in front of goal.

Futsal TA has trained hundreds of young players across our North Carolina academies using these same principles.

TESTIMONIAL

We attended a tryout session and were amazed with the instructors.

 

They fit technical skills development, situational awareness, and conditioning into a 1 hour session that rivaled weeks of practice with his outdoor club.

That said, we will be signing up for the academy and are excited to see how these guys will help develop our sons' soccer game.

- Ken Kadar

Futsal TA is a phenomenal program for youth development. Thiago and his team have a creative approach on developing the technical, tactical, and mental aspects of the game.

 

I have a 6 and 8 year old that are in the pre-academy program and can’t wait for the next practice or game each week.

 

They love the coaches as if they were family. I couldn’t recommend a better organization for our youth in the Charlotte area. Wonderful Program!!!!

- Bob Griffeth

Our son loves it. Came to organization as someone new to Futsal. This program has supercharged his development in outdoor soccer.

 

He has grown a ton and considers futsal his first love now over soccer.

- M. Lawing

If you are looking for quality futsal training in the Charlotte area- FTA is your place. My kids love it and are learning so much we travel an hour and a half for them to train with and play with FTA.

 

Coach Thiago and his staff are awesome. They know the game and can relate to the kids, resulting in excellent coaching and maximum learning in a fun, competitive environment.

 

My younger daughter went to one of their camps and now she wants to train there as well. We are so glad we found FTA!

- Holly Suriano

Over the past 10 months, the FTA Academy has had an incredible impact on my son. Just one futsal session a week helped transform his ball control, field awareness, and confidence — and those skills now shine on the outdoor field too.
 
We only wish we could join more sessions each week!
 
Thiago and his team are top-notch — knowledgeable, passionate, and fully committed to player growth. FTA is the best investment we’ve made in our son’s development.
- Keith Greenberg

1. Technical Skill Development

Focused futsal training builds footwork, close control, and speed of play. These are the tools that carry directly into outdoor soccer.

2. Game IQ & Competitive Edge

Players learn to think fast, play smart, and compete under pressure. We train with intention, preparing players for local leagues and higher-level events.

3. Confidence & Character
