RCF SELECT TEAMS
The Select Team program allows advanced players to reach their highest potential and grow their passion for the game. This year-long program provides consistent training with our top-level coaches and will challenge even the most technical players.
Futsal provides unparalleled benefits to player development with increased ball touches, need for speed, control, and quick decision making. Our competitive team trainings, seasonal leagues and tournaments provide the best augmentation to any outdoor season, but we also work to prepare young players for the challenges they face on and off the court. Our goal is to create not only top level soccer & futsal players but also great citizens.
RCF Select Teams are sponsored by Tursi Soccer, the Official Soccer Store of Rose City Futsal!
