Barcelona-style Soccer in Houston

What is Força SC? Força SC is a team of UEFA licensed coaches who prior to coming to the US were coaching for FC Barcelona’s youth academy in Spain. Força understands the value of teaching and building on the fundamentals of soccer and the importance of individual improvement at every level. Our technical director knows every player, understands their goals, and helps them to achieve their highest potential. Our kids are not just a number on a team.

The club’s quality training methodology leads to highly productive sessions and encourages quick decision-making. We are consistently simulating game-like situations and giving timely and positive feedback in a way that kids are able to solve problems and learn from their mistakes. We seek to develop soccer IQ, while more importantly, reinforcing key values that are essential to becoming well-rounded individuals.

We strive to sufficiently challenge players at all levels with fun and engaging sessions and help to truly develop a passion for the sport and form lifelong healthy habits - physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally.

How is Força SC Different? Força SC is unique to the majority of youth programs offered in the US. All of the sessions are coordinated and supervised by the technical director. There is a technical director at every school that is relocated from FC Barcelona’s youth academy to be a part of your community. The technical director will assist the local trainers with coaching, and it is important for the technical director to know all of the players and design the training sessions focused on the main needs of each group. Overall, we want to provide a personalized training environment where we can focus on helping kids improve in every aspect of the game. Specifically, the technical directors in each school will not only know every player in the academy but will also meet regularly with their parents regularly to discuss progress. Additionally, by applying our global methodology these players will perform better in many aspects of soccer but mainly in-game comprehension, technical/tactical training-game transference, focus, and intensity. We understand and have experienced coaching top global talent for each age group and provide goals to help young players strive to be the best that they can be.

Barcelona-style methodology at Força SC Academy is first-class technical coaching, learned from extensive experience among top clubs in Europe such as FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol of Barcelona. Our methodology is taught in a high-intensity environment with very little stoppage throughout the session. Due to the intensity and repetitiveness of the exercises, players’ concentration and decision-making improve over time.
