  • Professional academy tryouts abroad
  • Informal youth academy tours for players, coaches and parents

What people say?

The futsal experience was extremely positive for my daughter for the second year in a row. She looked forward to every game and is disappointed that it is over. It's nice to have an opportunity for kids to exercise and have fun indoors in the frigid cold of winter. Thank you ASA! Very pleased!"
