Building Better Players
Our Youth Futsal and Soccer Academy in Portland is the perfect place for young players of all ages and skill levels to play, learn, and shine. Each academy session is designed to help players develop their technique and speed of play. We keep our coach-to-player ratio low, allowing for optimal support in a fun environment aimed at helping kids grow as players and as people.
Become the Best Player You Can Be
Our Youth Futsal Academy offers year-round futsal classes for new and experienced players. Each 7-week session helps players develop their technique, speed of play, and decision-making ability. With increased ball touches on our fast-paced courts, futsal is an excellent alternative to a traditional soccer academy in Portland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cancellation requires a 3-day written notice before the first day of the respective class at our futsal and soccer academy in Portland. If canceled far enough in advance, class tuition will be returned in full, except for a $25 Registration fee.
If a player cancels within three days of a given class or if a class has already started, half of the remaining prorated class tuition will be returned (for example: if a player cancels after two classes, 50% of the cost of the remaining five classes will be refunded). If a player is injured and provides a doctor’s note, RCF will refund the remaining class’s prorated amount from the time notice is received.
*Rose City Futsal does not provide refunds or guarantee makeup classes for voluntarily missed classes or give credit towards future classes/sessions/events*
Futsal is played on a flat, hard surface—most similar to a basketball court. The court is sized for 5v5 play and uses a smaller and heavier ball than a soccer ball which stays on the ground more.
The game is much faster with the flat surface and tight spaces. Certain ball-skill techniques are used in futsal like receiving with the sole of the foot, toe poke (a shooting technique), etc. Skills developed through futsal complement skills developed in soccer, and vice-versa.
With these differences, even an experienced soccer player should begin in our All Levels classes for a session or two to gain the futsal-specific fundamentals.
The most common path to participating in our advanced classes is to participate in an All Levels class for at least a couple of sessions. The coaches will communicate to the player and family when they are ready to move up to our more advanced classes which focus on technique as well as tactics.
