We are excited to have Chris Banos leading our Summer 2026 Futsal Clinics full-time this summer! Chris was recently recognized as the MVP of the Copa Talento Futsal Tournament and has earned recognition at the highest levels of youth futsal as a member of the U.S. Youth Futsal National Team, along with Regional and National Futsal Teams. Chris currently competes in MLS NEXT with Real FA after previously spending time with Inter Miami CF during his U12 season in Florida. His journey is a great example of how futsal can positively impact a player’s long-term development.
Futsal has played a tremendous role in Chris’ growth as a player by improving his technical ability, quick decision-making, creativity, foot skills, movement in tight spaces, and overall confidence on the ball. The fast-paced nature of futsal forces players to think quickly, develop composure under pressure, and become more complete soccer players. Chris is passionate about helping young athletes develop both on and off the court, and we are excited for our players to learn from someone who has experienced firsthand how valuable futsal can be in a player’s pathway and development.

ABOUT UNITED FUTSAL ACADEMY
We believe that futsal training is the best way to develop the necessary skills needed to progress to the sport of soccer. We focus on teaching technical skills, technical awareness, proper decision-making on the court or field, and becoming comfortable with the soccer ball.
Futsal requires players to have good ball control, passing, and quick decision-making skills, which can translate to better performance on the field. The smaller playing area and ball size also require players to have better ball control and precision in their movements, leading to improved technical skills.
Develops tactical awareness: Futsal requires players to constantly make decisions and adapt to the changing game situations, helping to develop their tactical awareness and decision-making abilities. The fast-paced nature of the game also requires players to think and react quickly, which can help them become more strategic and effective on the field.
Improves physical fitness: The smaller playing area and increased frequency of play in futsal can help players improve their fitness and endurance, which can translate to better performance on the field. The game also requires players to engage in high-intensity bursts of activity, such as sprints and changes of direction, which can improve their speed, agility, and balance.
