ACADEMY PROGRAM IN CHARLOTTE
The FTA Academy offers high-level futsal training for youth players in Huntersville and surrounding North Charlotte communities. Rooted in Brazilian methodology, our year-round indoor program focuses on fast feet, creativity, and game intelligence — the same elements that have developed many of Brazil’s greatest players.
Sessions are held at North Academy of Languages, with options on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays for boys and girls of all skill levels. Whether your child is new to futsal or looking to sharpen their technique for competitive soccer, our Charlotte program provides a fun yet challenging environment designed to build confidence, quick decision-making, and technical excellence.
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.
Families across Charlotte are choosing futsal to give their kids the edge in soccer through elite-level training and more game action.

TESTIMONIAL
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
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
We attended a tryout session are 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
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.
