Shenandoah FC Elite


Shenandoah FC Elite Futsal is the only futsal development program in the Shenandoah Valley that offers players a unique opportunity to train and compete with players from other soccer clubs that are at the same skill level. We recognize the value Futsal can have in supporting the development of a young player. What futsal does is it gives you many more touches on the ball.  Your technical ability is in overdrive, where you’re becoming technically sounder at a quicker pace because of the small field. With the lack of space and boards, you have to react faster and think quicker. That’s what futsal does in all the aspects: movement off the ball, movement with the ball, dribbling, shooting, proper runs, goalkeeper. It’s soccer on high speed.  The [futsal] size four ball with little bounce stays at a player’s feet more and is very inducive to increasing the technical ability of the player.
