WHY UFA?
Our sessions are well planned, longer and we practice active coaching before, during and after the game. Over the past decade, speed, agility, and coordination (SAC) training has become an important component in the development of elite football players. At all levels – youth, amateur, and professional SAC training helps players develop or refine key physical abilities. We have recognised the importance of this, and all our sessions include SAC component. For that reason, our players have advanced balance, acceleration and overall speed, along with great technical abilities.
Ultra-Football Academy teaches the following values: respect, fair play, responsibility, trust, teamwork.
Academy also developed ULTRA football playing style for advanced gameplay and understanding of the game.
Anybody can kick a ball around, to us it is so important the way we play.
Academy teams compete during summer season and at the elite tournaments (5 to 9 a side).
Our mission is to develop champions and leaders of tomorrow.
Why Futsal?
It’s one of the fastest growing sports and it is played in over 100 countries with millions of players around the world. The game encourages skillful and creative play whilst emphasising ball retention. As a small-sided game, players are constantly placed in situations where they must receive or play whilst under pressure or in confined spaces and it places considerable demand on technique, movement, tactical awareness and fitness. Playing Futsal it allows player to touch the ball nearly 12 times more than playing football. The best technical players come from Futsal.
