Soccer
Soccer School, 'Futibol'- The Fútibol Internacional family would like to welcome you to our soccer world. Fútibol Internacional is a Chula Vista based soccer haven open for everyone, young and old. Futibol derives its format from Futsal the “Official form of indoor soccer” as approved by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (F.I.F.A.) It is a small sided game (5 v 5) played on a smaller field with no walls; essentially a scaled down version of regular outdoor soccer. This is the game that soccer players around the world play when they want to refine and maintain both their control skills as well as their touch. Futsal places a great emphasis on ball control. The smaller field size, without the aid of walls, forces players to learn to use proper techniques. Playing with walls only creates bad habits and eminent danger for players. Futsal gained rapid popularity in South America, particularly in Brazil. Players such as Pelé, Bebeto, Ronaldo and many other Brazilian superstars developed their skills playing Futsal. This great game is now played in over 100 countries with over 12 million players.

The San Diego African
Soccer League

The San Diego African League Mission Statement The goal of African soccer league in San Diego is primarily to unite all Africans with common desire to stay in touch with one another by preserving our African values, morals, customs and cultures.The sole purpose of SDASL is to create a safe and welcoming environment for all youths as adults so they can spiritually, mentally and physically better themselves.The goal of the league is to promote the brotherhood and friendship spirit within the different African communities in San Diego.The goal of this African league is to unite our younger generation with our older generation, so that the older can be used as a projection or mirror to the young ones.The goal is to use the older generation to serve as role models to the youths so this new generation can copy or at least apply these examples to better themselves in other aspects of life.The goal is to keep every African youth or adult out of danger or any trouble that they might put themselves in by being in the streets or by not participating in sport at all, this way this will save our youngsters from joining different gang groups like we have seen in the past.
