OTA Students fielded three successful teams in the Soccer Kids America Indoor Soccer League at Balboa Park last year. Indoor soccer (Futsal, in Brazil) is the best place for kids to develop world-class soccer skills (trapping, passing, dribbling, shooting) and we hope even more OTA families will take advantage of this great league this Fall. Why is Futsal so effective? Here’s an except from The Talent Code, by Daniel Coyle:
One reason lies in the math. Futsal players touch the ball far more often than [field] soccer players— six times more often per minute, according to a Liverpool University study.
