PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

player developmental program (AGE 4y-7y old)

Here at Fundamental Futbol Academy (FFA-NYC) we do not only rely on tools to train, educate and inspire your kids. We believe effective communication and positive reinforcement are also needed to learn the game of soccer at an early age.

FFA uses cognitive learning techniques throughout our coaching methods. Cognitive learning is a style of learning that focuses on more effective use of the brain. We use color cones, numbers, and simple words to stimulate their brains. We also train different motor skills, where movements are executed more quickly and accurately with our step-by-step repetitive teaching methods.

It allows our kids to gain more balance, increase coordination and learn about body movement.

Winter 2025/26 Program Option: indoors futsal program

This winter, we are proud to offer our Intensive Futsal Youth Soccer Program at Pier 40 Indoor Field designed for players ages 4–9. Practicing indoors ensures comfort during colder months, though the playing area is more compact - creating a faster, more skill-focused environment.

Futsal is a 5v5 game played on a smaller court, emphasizing quick decision-making, refined technique, and close ball control.

This program gives players the chance to develop these essential skills over 12 sessions, guided by our experienced FFA NYC coaching staff.
