Introduction

Level 3 License – Brazilian Soccer National Symposium

We believe that to become a good educator, you must have expertise in the different Football philosophies. Football (Soccer) is one of the few sports that have two major educational philosophies:
European – Fast physical speed with consistency of the high ball – fast, but predictable – England, Germany and Holland are some of the examples.
South American – Short passes on the ground consistently changing point of attack which facilitates the decision making and increases the mental speed. This type of game results in unpredictable players and teams. Brazil is the best example of this philosophy.
BFUT brings a perfect combination of the best of both philosophies – Offensively have the freedom of positioning and defensively scoring goals. Everybody attacks and everybody defends
The National Symposium is the opportunity to teach coaches from all over the world the Brazilian philosophy through our educational methodology – The BFUT methodology has been developed through top pro and youth coaches from around the world since 1991.
This program is offered individually in any part of the world
