Why Choose Brazilian Soccer Schools?

BSS is different to many other more traditional football academies who place the emphasis on competitiveness. At BSS, we centre our training around individual technique and Futebol de Salao – the original Brazilian 5-a-side game. This smaller-sided, fast-paced environment is scientifically proven to accelerate technical development.

Benefits Of Using Futebol de Salao In Our Training

There are many benefits to using Futebol de Salao as the basis of our training. Within this section, we will look at some of the main benefits. 

Maximum Touches

In Futebol de Salao, players will get up to 600% more touches on the ball than in standard 11-a-side practice. This repetition is crucial for mastering close control and ball manipulation.

Rapid Decision-Making

The reduced space and high pace of Futebol de Salao forces players to think faster which will improve their cognitive processing and tactical awareness. These are key for success in the modern game.

Individual Skill Mastery

Our curriculum is built on a foundation of individual technique, ensuring every player develops the confidence and ability to execute skills under pressure. We focus on developing the complete player so they are ready to play football to a high level like many of our graduates.

What to Expect at a BSS Training Session

Before you sign your kid up it would be a good idea to know what to expect from a Brazilian Soccer Schools training session. 

A typical session will start with a warm-up and then move on body and ball manipulation which will be done to music. Then, we move on working on a specific topic per session, such as juggling, passing, dribbling etc. 

Then, we will have a small-sided game with conditions. This will allow your kid to use the skills they have developed whilst building decision making skills and teamwork. 

The sessions end with a cool down to prevent injury and a debrief of how the session went for everyone. The debrief allows the coaches to see where a kid might need more help. This is really important as we want every kid to succeed to the best of their abilities.
