Have a look to the video, the pictures and the info and let us know if you have any questions.

As Head of Performance for Bay Area Futsal Club and Head of Futsal Philosophy and Coaching Methodology for Sheffield FC Futsal, I will be visiting the island to help in a futsal camp for kids to identify potential talent to travel next year to a tournament in Florida (USA) and to deliver a Level 1 futsal coaching course.

Again, this is possible thanks to the friendship with Coach Pete Rickards, Founder and President of CP Athletic Development; and the partnership between CP Athletic Development and Bay Area Futsal Club.

FUTSAL BOOKS

Finally, I would like also to announce that for the first ever time my futsal online books will be available to be purchased on hard copy. I will take with me some copies of both (Futsal: Technical & Tactical Concepts and Coaching children in & out futsal: a parent/coach  guide) to Bermuda so coaches can get access to them. 

It is something that I have been thinking for a while and that I was asked too, so finally I decided to print some copies. If you would like to put your hands on the books do not hesitate and contact me to reserve your copy. Copies are limited right now, so hurry up if you want one or both of the books with you and drop me an email to order them.

II SHEFFIELD FC FUTSAL COACHING SEMINAR

I am glad to return to Sheffield to present the II Futsal Coaching Seminar in line with the continued partnership between Sheffield Futsal Club and Bay Area Futsal Club. One of my roles and responsibilities as Head of Futsal Philosophy & Coaching Methodology for Sheffield Futsal Club was to work with the staff to build the club culture and apply to all the teams within the club regardless of their gender, level or age. The last seminar was a tremendous success and we are very proud of what we achieved. However, this time we wanted to go one step further and focus on what we believe is the foundation of futsal: the youth, the kids. Therefore, it is my pleasure to personally invite all of you to the II Futsal Coaching Seminar which will focus on youth futsal and will be held on the 22nd of December of 2019. For more info please check the flyer.

FUTSAL CAMP & COACHING CERTIFICATES IN BERMUDA

Once again, a year later, I am very happy to return to Bermuda to help with several futsal projects. As Head of Performance for the Bay Area Futsal Club, I will be visiting the island to help in a futsal camp for kids and to deliver a couple of futsal coaching courses. 

This is possible thanks to the friendship with Coach Pete Rickards, CEO and Founder of CP Athletic Development; and for partnering with Bay Area Futsal Club to deliver the events.

Bay Area Futsal Club is focused to be an international leading futsal organisation and again it has showed its commitment to the cause participating in these events.

CP Athletic Development is committed to the continued progression of their members (over 60 players aged 6 to 27). On the heels of the success of their Alevin team at the World Futsal Championships in August 2017 in Orlando, Florida (USA), this partnership meets the Academy’s strategic objectives include increased global exposure and elevated learning environments.

EVENTS INFORMATION & REGISTRATION 

• FITNESS & FUTSAL CAMP: Monday 23rd October to Friday 27th October since 8:30am to 4pm at Somersfield Academy Gym. Please see bottom of the flyer for registration and info.

I "SIMPLY SPORT" SEMINAR

When I decided to start to write this blog my main objective was to share everything related to sport. Some months ago Paco Cachinero had a fantastic idea: organise online meetings about his sport, futsal. So far, he has organised three and I have had the fortune to participate in all of them. That fact gave me an idea: Could I try to organise something similar in England? My idea is to plan specific meetings about a great range of topics in different sports with good speakers. And there we go...

Therefore, I would like to announce publicly that the I “Simply Sport” Seminar had place last weekend. The topic for the first meeting was “Defensive basic principles in futsal”, and had place on Friday, 24^th February 2012, in the England Futsal Camp held in Northampton. In this first online meeting the attendance was strictly by invitation. I played like a moderator, and the keynote speaker was Ignacio José Garrido Gallego “Nacho”. Nacho is currently the head coach of a Spanish female futsal team: Roldán Fútbol Sala Femenino, and was a professional futsal player playing in teams such as ElPozo Murcia or Minguez-Saez FS Cartagena. The participants were the whole technical staff of the England National Futsal Team and some coaches of national futsal clubs. The main advantage of this kind of meetings is that participants do not have to travel or move away their home. Therefore everyone can be at their home and share voice, chats and presentations thanks to a free software. The only needs are to have computer with speakers and microphone, and internet access. If you would like to participate in the next online meeting about futsal or other sport just email me.
