Sala Soccer Schools Manchester exist to give every child the very best start in football. Our Training ethos very much mirrors that of South America and Spain. Our continuous
research and training is carried out to give the best standard of coaching, which lead us to visit the Joan Gamper Complex, home to the academy of FC Barcelona in Spain to learn why and how they produce some of the world’s finest footballers. Our research uncovered the game of Futsal or Futbol Sala as a development tool for the very young footballers to develop fast feet and excellent technical and tactical awareness. Many of the top world class footballers played Futsal in their youth and credit the game for their footballing development; players of the calibre of Pele, Zico, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Lionel Messi to name but a few of the South American legends all played and enjoyed Futsal. But Futsal has not just helped produce South American football stars, on the European stage Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta, Zidane and Fabregas are amongst many others that have played Futsal to develop their skills, by spending more time with the ball and achieving technical competence before moving onto the physical and tactical side of the game. We believe a child first has to become a good person before becoming a good player. Only hard work, effort, determination and practice will help players to improve, and we donot select players on ability as we are very confident of producing excellent footballers regardless of experience. All we ask for is an excellent attitude to their training sessions.
