Event organiser and Head Coach of BSS, Martin Hill, is thrilled the Brazilian Soccer Camp is back to celebrate its first anniversary. “While stars like Ronaldinho have a natural gift for football, it’s from playing Futebol De Salao at an early age that they were able to play at a high level and Brazilian Soccer Schools are committed to bringing out this same spirit in children, both in terms of pure skill and love of the game,” he said. “Our skills training sessions are geared at developing individual skills and competitiveness, which will help improve their chances of playing at a higher level later on in life.”

Both of the club’s camps offer youngsters the opportunity to experience some of the best facilities in Asia. In addition to the FIFA-approved soccer field, PIASLC boasts an International Rugby Board standard rugby pitch, six Plexicushion tennis courts, and 50-metre and 25-metre swimming pools.

“Futebol de Salao is really how I got started. This is my love, the thing I enjoy the most ,’’ is a quote from Ronaldo, one of the most respected players in the world.

The sport of Futebol de Salão became popular in Brazil where immortal players such as Pele, Rivelino, Zico and right through to Juninho, Ronaldo, and Rivaldo were brought up first playing FDS before moving onto mainstream football. They all credit that Futebol de Salão developed soccer skills. The International Confederation of Futebol de Salao (ICFDS), originally set up Brazilian Football Academies and Soccer Schools in the UK, and now supervise the game across the world, and have opened professionally managed centre’s in numerous countries.

The PIASLC Brazilian Soccer Camps are a skills-based training system that is offered throughout the year with scheduling around school breaks.  The training camps include daily training with the unique FDS moves to beat players also incorporating turns, passing, juggling and core skills.
