PATHFINDER FUTSAL
Why Futsal
Futsal's dynamic pace enhances spatial intelligence and game reading. Players remain alert, anticipate opponents' moves, and exploit court weaknesses.
The tight space demands quickness and swift decision-making—players must act under pressure, fostering ball movement, spacing, and teamwork.
As Dr. Emilio Miranda notes, futsal players experience 600% more ball touches than soccer players.
It's a hotbed for creativity and innovative thinking, akin to the renowned tiki-taka style.
Play futsal to unleash your imagination!
The Program
Pathfinder's futsal development is rooted in game fundamentals. Distinct from soccer, our coaches are futsal specialists, led by Coach Craig Canavan, a US Youth Futsal national coach and New York talent identification director.
We instill both individual and team concepts, with over a dozen players joining US Youth Futsal National teams in international tournaments. We've excelled in regional championships, securing 3 of the last 4 years at the National Championships in Kansas City.
Our year-round, club-agnostic program lets you play futsal while continuing with another soccer program. While our primary season runs late fall to early spring, we offer spring and summer tune-up events, possibly participating in the US Youth Futsal National Championships.
Training, twice a week, takes place evenings at our Poughkeepsie and Indian Mountain School centers.
