USYF Nationals 2026

As we kick off our fall sessions, we wanted to look back at an incredible summer and recognize two FDA teams that represented us at the USYF National Championships in Richmond, Virginia - our 2011 Boys Grey and 2014 Girls Grey.

Our 2011 Boys Grey made an incredible run to the National Semifinals, eventually falling to the National Champions. Playing with a flying keeper for nearly the entire tournament, the boys showed tremendous quality, courage, and belief against some of the best teams in the country.

Our 2014 Girls Grey made history as the first 2014 girls team from Kentucky to compete at USYF Nationals. They played fantastic futsal, battled in extremely close games, and showed they can compete with some of the best girls teams in the nation.

We’re extremely proud of both groups and every player who continues to put in the work throughout the year. Seeing the development happening here in Kentucky translate to the national stage is what this is all about.

And we’re just getting started. This was only Summer 2 for FDA.

A huge congratulations to Elizabeth Leasher on being selected to represent the United States with the USYF International Team! 🇺🇸

Out of only 12 players selected in the entire country, Elizabeth has earned the opportunity to represent the USA this winter in Portugal. What an unbelievable accomplishment.

This is also a special moment for our academy, as Elizabeth becomes the first FDA player to earn this honor.

What makes this even more incredible is her journey. Just 19 months ago, she was coming back from ACL surgery. For about the first seven months of her recovery, she couldn’t train or even touch a ball. But she still showed up to every single futsal practice just to watch, learn, support her teammates, and continue growing her understanding of the game. She never let the injury separate her from the team.

Elizabeth has also spent the last few years training and competing with our 2011 boys team, one of the top futsal teams in the country. That’s never an easy environment, but she embraced the challenge every single day and kept pushing herself to improve.

Her story is a reminder that setbacks don’t have to define you. The way she handled adversity, stayed patient, and kept working is exactly why opportunities like this come around.

Elizabeth has been with us since the very beginning of our academy, and watching her grow into the player and person she is today has been really special.

We’re incredibly proud of you, Elizabeth. Go enjoy every moment in Portugal, represent our country with pride, and good luck. We know you’ll make all of us proud. 🇺🇸

Today marks the completion of the first official school year of the FDA Mentorship Program.

What a journey it has been.

For some of these players, this meant making the decision to homeschool. Together, they committed to training two hours a day, five days a week. Some of them have been with us for eight straight months. Through every challenge, every success, and every setback, they kept showing up.

Yes, we taught soccer. We spent countless hours developing technical skills, decision-making, confidence, and game understanding. But this program has always been about more than soccer.

It’s about teaching discipline, work ethic, accountability, leadership, confidence, respect, resilience, and how to handle adversity. It’s about learning how to be a great teammate, a great friend, and ultimately a great person.

A huge thank you to the parents who trusted us with their children and believed in this vision. We are incredibly grateful for your support throughout this first year.

To our players: thank you for your commitment, attitude, and willingness to grow every single day. We are so proud of what you’ve accomplished.

This was the first year of a one-of-a-kind program here in Kentucky, and we’re just getting started.

See you in September. ❤️⚽💪

Only a few spots are available for the 2026-27 FDA Mentorship Program.

Big congrats to Elizabeth Leasher (2011) and Bennett Shutt (2017) on being selected for the final round of the USYF Futsal National ID Camp.

This event will bring together some of the top futsal talent in the country, all competing for an opportunity to earn a spot within the national team pathway.

Both Elizabeth and Bennett have put in so much hard work behind the scenes - showing up week in and week out, training consistently, competing, learning, and continuing to grow. We’re extremely proud to have them represent Futsal Development Academy at this level.

Wishing them the best of luck at camp. Keep chasing it. ⚽️

At FDA Mentorship this morning, the focus was learning how to escape pressure and stay composed in difficult situations.

Today’s drill was a 1v2 exercise - designed to teach players how to recognize defensive pressure, manipulate defenders, and find ways to escape into space using creativity, control, and quick decision making.

These are the types of situations players constantly face in real games. The goal isn’t just technical ability. It’s helping players become calm, confident, and intelligent under pressure.

This is a big part of what our FDA Mentorship Program is about.

The more comfortable players become in chaos, the more impactful they become in the game

Nothing changes for us in the spring. Same focus. Same work. Keep showing up and keep improving.

Futsal DA 2011 Boys - Top 10 in the country 🇺🇸

This didn’t happen overnight.

There were losses. There were tough moments. But this group stayed committed to development - learning how to play, how to think, and how to compete the right way.

Results come when the foundation is built right.

Proud of these players and the families behind them.
