WHY INDOOR SOCCER?
“For a brief part of my career as a former soccer player, I transitioned and played professional indoor soccer in the MASL and was also graciously selected to represent this country on the USA Men’s Futsal National Team. I can’t stress the importance enough of how much it benefited me as a former player and how it improved my play. I strongly recommend every aspiring player to play the indoor game because it’s a great way for every youth player to improve technically, work on awareness, and speed of play, induce more touches on the ball and influence better decision-making with the ball.
It’s such a great development tool for youth during the off-season months and I would love for every player to continue improving so that they may be physically and technically prepared for when they come back to the outdoor season.”

SA Athletic FC – Club Director
We provide a motivating soccer-training program where players are encouraged to compete in local indoor soccer competitions/leagues in San Antonio. Our players that are interested in playing year-round, continue to receive ongoing training and compete in a 3 month long indoor soccer season during the summer and winter months. Playing indoor soccer and small-sided games increases touches on the ball, and opportunities to improve overall technique in small spaces where players must make quick effective decisions. During the indoor soccer seasons, it is important for our coaches to improve and build the confidence of our players so that they may feel more comfortable to take players on, improve their ball mastery ability and improve their skill levels.
We understand that summertime is sometimes complicated due to schedules and vacations which is why we are very flexible when it comes to summertime in terms of training and indoor league games. We always offer flexible schedules during the summer and if you are interested in training for 6, 8, or 10 weeks those options are available as well.
Our summer season runs from June to August. The winter season runs from December to February.
