In the case of personal growth & development, we know that athletics and the performing arts help students learn essential life skills such as teamwork, self-discipline, self-confidence, hard work and fair play. It has been our experience that being part of a team brings people together. Pursuing shared objectives, promoting good sportsmanship and showing respect for our fellow man are vital to our humanity and key to developing great people and great teams.

In the case of Player Development, futsal is the key piece to the elusive puzzle. Why Futsal? Futsal makes fundamentals fun again! In a futsal game, you get 600% more touches than in a soccer game. In futsal, you are always under pressure. You're always within range of the opponents goal, and or your own goal. Futsal forces players to think and play faster than ever before. Futsal is indeed a thrilling game and an unmatched tool in developing complete soccer players.

We have experienced the skills futsal brings to the table, we've lived to see the results. So, yes, we are impassioned about our Lake Placid youth getting into the game of FUTSAL! Passion, compassion and years of experience have resulted in a tradition of winning. This winning tradition is the reason why we stay committed to the pursuit of excellence, developing complete soccer players+

From the streets of Buenos Aires, to the gyms in Toronto Canada, I have always loved some futsal. Now, after decades of playing & coaching in these United States, I have to admit, Futsal has always been my favorite.
