FOCUS

 

U-TURN Soccer Training focuses on specific skill development at every level: ball handling, dribbling, throw-in, shooting, crossing, transition, passing, teamwork, and goalkeeping

 

Now offering Futsal Training...

The U-TURN Soccer Department is proud to offer training in futsal. Futsal is derived from the Spanish or Portuguese word for "soccer" (FUTbol or FUTebol) and the French or Spanish word for "indoor" (SALon or SALa). The game is frequently referred to as Five-A-Side and is played on a small field (roughly basketball court sized) with a smaller/heavier size 3-4 ball. There are no walls in play. This is the game world class soccer players around the globe play to refine and maintain their control skills and touch.
