FTBL Soccer Training has been fantastic for my son. It’s really helped him develop his skills, improve his conditioning, and gain confidence on the field. We’ve seen great progress in both his ability and his love for the game! Thank you to all the coaches / FTBL!

My son has been training with FTBL Academy for a few months now, and he has shown so much improvement and confidence. Coach Rafa and his team are amazing. Definitely recommend!

My 10 year old daughter started training at FTBL Academy and loves it. The coaches give attention to each kid and pushes them to be their best. They change up the drills for each training session to keep it not repetitive. Would recommend for anyone looking for kids soccer training!

My son absolutely loves it. Coach Rafael is fantastic. He is patient, knowledgeable, and really knows how to make training fun while teaching skills. I’ve noticed huge improvements in his confidence and technique since joining. He looks forward to every session. Highly recommend FTBL to any parent looking for a positive and productive soccer program.

FTBL Academy is a perfect program for my son. He's been in this program for 3 month. He's always excited to go training and enjoys a lot everytime he goes. I already see his improvement!! Thank you very much to Coach Rafael and the rest of our coaches.

My son has been in FTBL academy for about 4 months. I’ve noticed he is much more confident! He is always so excited to go to practice. If he has already Improved so much in 4 months I cannot wait to see the improvement a year from now. Thank you so much to Coach Rafael and the rest of the coaches.

My 10 yr old son has been training with FTBL for about 3 months now and I’ve seen great improvement with his footwork and ability to control the ball. Their training incorporates real game scenarios and plenty of 1v1 and 2v2. My son had his first game last weekend after a few month hiatus and he was so much more confident and dominated on the field.

We have enjoyed this program so immensely. Rafael is such an incredible coach. He challenges the kids and also supports them in the best way. Nothing heals the heart and soul like sport and I have seen my son‘s self-confidence skyrocket.

We love Ftbal Academy! My daughter played on the team this last season and we started the trainings this past summer. We already see tremendous growth in her development !! She loves the trainings and her teammates. The coaches are very skilled and patient, they help each child individually and as a group. Thank you so much !! We appreciate you guys 🙂

FTBL academy has been great for my son. He's already in a club, but the focus on skills and drills he doesn't get a lot of at club has been extremely helpful for his growth. Highly recommend.
