2023 US Youth Futsal Regional Champions!

Both Barefoot teams are Champions! U10 Girls 2013 Paisitas, and U19 2004/05 Boys Calasanz Dominated at Regionals!!

Amazing performances from BOTH of our Champion Barefoot teams in the 2023 US Youth Futsal South Atlantic Regional Championship!

1)Our 2013 girls Paisitas dominated the Girls U10 div, blowing by opponents from Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, to become Regional Champs, posting a 4-0 record, with 41 goals for & only 10 against...Unreal!! Even though we may have been out-sized, and out-muscled, these girls were true examples of Barefoot style, hard work, and dedication to their craft...while displaying the heart of Guerreras! Vamos Paisitas!!!

2) Our 2004/5 boys Calasanz dominated the Boys U19 div, and winning the Final emphatically 10-2!! This was a very special, sentimental Championship for us, since this may be the last time these very special young men play Futsal together in a Regional. You see, these particular young men are from our "Original Batch" of Barefooters....from back in 2011 when we started Barefoot Futsal, and F5 Futsal...they were the pioneers that believed in the Vision, the Mission, and they committed themselves to honing their craft in a new radical way, they cleared a path for Player Development the Barefoot Way, and for this I salute them, and all their hard work!

Muchísimas Gracias Guerreros!

A UNIQUE WAY TO TRAIN & Play

The "Barefoot Method" is a fusion of the best training practices from around the world. A core component of what makes Barefoot different in the United States is a belief in training across a variety of environments. Cross training in the related but different sports of Futsal, beach soccer & traditional soccer builds unique capabilities in a player. Each environment refines a player's ability to compete in a critical element of the modern soccer game. We call this training Soccer 2.0.

Barefoot's Coach G Writes The Foreword To Best Selling Soccer Book On Amazon

Shoeless Soccer: Fixing the System and Winning the World Cup

Barefoot FC helped plant the seeds of this grassroots movement over a decade ago and continues to develop uniquely exciting players with the Barefoot Method. Shoeless Soccer helps provide a glimpse into what makes our players stand out from the crowd.

Soccer was the number one youth participation sport in America. But numbers have declined by nearly 25% in recent years. Over the same period, the US Men's national team has gone from what many considered the verge of a breakthrough to elimination from the 2018 World Cup.

If Americans can be the best at anything, then why not soccer? What's gone wrong with American soccer and what can we do to fix it? In memory of Pele's first team, "the Shoeless Ones," this book makes the compelling case that our uniquely American quest for perfect equipment, perfect fields, and perfect competition is exactly what has prevented our American youth from developing the skills, instincts and creativity needed to master the beautiful game.

If America is going to take its place as a true soccer nation, we'll need a movement at the grassroots level, even if it means that games aren't played on grass at all.

James Rodriguez - Bayern Munich and Colombian Great

Rodriguez Was 'Footballer From the Day He Was Born'

INTROVERTED AS A CHILD, COLUMBIA'S JAMES RODRIGUEZ'S ZEST FOR SOCCER WAS UNMISTAKABLE

The 2014 World Cup was full of surprises and unexpected calls to fame, but none were better than the emergence of James Rodríguez.

The son of a Colombian national team player, Rodríguez found his love for soccer at the age of five when his stepfather enrolled the youngster in the local academy of Tolima.

Though Rodríguez was an introverted child who often shied away from socialization due to his stutter, his zest for soccer was unmistakable from the very beginning.

The Football Greats Forged By Futsal

For decades now, futsal has been a popular and much-loved sporting discipline, especially in South America and southern Europe. And while the indoor version of football is rapidly growing in popularity elsewhere now, thanks to FIFA's patronage and the support of many leading personalities, it is in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Portugal that futsal has proved a breeding ground for some of the greats of the game.
