Chidren are not empty vessels. There is no place for such ideas of emptiness in 21st century pedagogy.
At S. C. Corinthians LA the kids will be learn autonomy, critical reflection and decision making, rather than viewing them as passive receptacles for information.

Brazilian Joga Bonito

Brazilian’s unique, rhythmic style – “play beautifully.” Brazilian style prioritizes control and creativity, cultivating ‘soccer artists’ who blend tactical understanding and technical proficiency, transforming soccer into a joyful spectacle.

Spanish Tiki-Taka

While keeping possession is critical for success, players continue to play with an attacking mentality, and also regathering the ball quickly when possession is lost. If our opponents don’t have the ball, they can’t score.

European Style

It’s true, there is not only one “European Style” of futsal! Typically, they are disciplined, unrelenting, and fierce in everything they do. But, we can highlight characteristics of some of their leagues, like Germany’s clinical efficiency, British physicality, and Italy’s defensive mastery in catenaccio.

FUTSAL

What’s Futsal?
Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided soccer game that is played across the world and is officially
recognized by both FIFA and UEFA.
Futsal earned the status of FIFA’s official form of indoor soccer in the 1980s as it was recognized as a
scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard
surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline
boundaries and without walls.
The small amount of space means players must have great technique and skill in high pressure
situations which can be translated into the outdoor game. and as well as a professional sport in its own
right with national and international championships, it is also considered a development tool for 11-aside soccer. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking and pinpoint passing.
Futsal is played in all the continents of the world by over 100 countries with more than 12 million
players. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho and
Cristiano, grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.

Why Futsal?

The top priority of futsal, and S. C. Corinthians LA is to motivate players in an environment that is
conducive to learning. The more pleasure kids derive from their participation, the more they wish to
play and practice on their own. While their instinct to play is natural, their affection and appreciation
for the game must be cultivated.
Here is why kids should play futsal:

Improves Technical Skills

Futsal is played on a smaller, enclosed court with a heavier ball, encouraging more touches and precise control. This enhances dribbling, passing, and shooting abilities significantly compared to traditional soccer.

Enhances Decision-Making

The fast-paced nature of futsal requires quick thinking and rapid decision-making. Players learn to anticipate movements, strategize in tight spaces, and react swiftly, which translates well to other sports and life situations.

Promotes Creativity and Agility

Futsal fosters creativity as players are constantly challenged to find innovative ways to maneuver around opponents and create scoring opportunities. It also improves agility, balance, and coordination due to the close control and frequent changes in direction.

Encourages Teamwork and Communication

It is the soccer club that (the real) Ronaldo chose to play after his time in Europe.

Founded in 1910 by five railway workers inspired by the London-based Corinthian Football Club, Corinthians traditionally plays in a white and black home kit. Their crest was first introduced in 1939, featuring the São Paulo state flag in a shield, two oars, and an anchor, representing the club’s early success in nautical sports.

One of the most widely supported teams in the world with over loyal 40 million fans, Corinthians is one of the most successful Brazilian clubs, having won 7 national titles, 3 Copa do Brasil trophies, one Supercopa do Brasil title, and a record 30 São Paulo State championships. In international competitions, the club won 2x FIFA Club World Championship, Copa Libertadores de América champions, Recopa Sudamericana and other titles. In 2017, the club was listed by Forbes as the most valuable football club in the Americas, valued at $576.9 million.

Corinthians, boasts a legion of dedicated and loyal supporters known as the “Fiel” (faithful). These fans are the lifeblood of the club, with their unwavering passion and undying support spanning generations. Rain or shine, win or lose, the Fiel pack every stadium they play in, turning them into a cauldron of electric atmosphere. Their chants and cheers resonate through the stadium during all 90 minutes, urging their beloved team forward with every match. Beyond the confines of the stadium, the Fiel are a community united by their love for Corinthians, sharing a deep bond that transcends mere fandom. They embody resilience and commitment, standing by their team through triumphs and setbacks alike, making them a symbol of loyalty in Brazilian soccer culture. Corinthians fans are known in Brazil as “The Band of Madmen.”
