Futebol de Salao (FutSal)
The DPS Way™

In Brazil, children don’t play “real soccer” before the age of 12. They play Futebol de Salao or Futsal, and they learn ball skills with a rhythm - the background beat of samba. No competition exists between schools in soccer; there are no leagues or youth clubs, championships or inter-school games. The focus is on developing great players with wonderful skills.

Brilliance requires lots of practice. Achieving competence in any endeavor takes time. Work on core skills needs a great deal of repetition, in the process of which the percentage of inferior efforts gradually diminishes, before competence is achieved.
Without competence there is little hope of pleasure, which is after all, what sport is all about. Our goal at DPS™ is to confer competence rather than brilliance by putting the FUN back in FUNdamentals.

The DPS Way™ are technically planned training and practice sessions, based on Futsal and other Brazilian methods. It establishes the fundamentals of technique in children through frequent repetition, presenting and establishing mastery of the ball through the core soccer skills:

  • Dribbling – receiving the ball and beating an opponent 1-on-1 
  • Passing – an accurate 10-yard pass
  • Shooting – a 20-yard shot with power
