Who's ready for a few months of screen time?
More than ever, kids are spending their free time looking at screens and playing video games. Especially during the winter and summer months, kids park on the couch and develop unhealthy habits. Soccer skills may get rusty for even the most active kids without consistent training. What's the answer? PIVO!
What's PIVO?
PIVO Futsal Academy (PEE-vo) is a skills-based soccer and futsal training program with measurable results and a karate-inspired belt system to motivate players to improve their skills. Pivo is also the Portuguese word for the center forward and play maker in futsal.
Positive, Measurable Results
We measure players on the first day and on the last day on a set of 7 basic soccer & futsal skills. In between, we strike a balance between individual skill work and play. In 2019 & 2020, players improved by an average of 36%, with some players more than doubling their scores. And everyone had fun.
Players of the Week
A major goal of PIVO is to inspire, motivate, and provide a structure for players to practice at home. In Jan. 2021 we introduced our weekly "Players of the Week" awards to recognize players that have been working hard or reached a personal milestone. Please use this form to Nominate a Player for consideration.
Why Futsal?
Futsal is fast-paced and places a premium on foot skills and ball control. A futsal ball is slightly smaller and heavier than a soccer ball, and it doesn't bounce much so the game is played mainly on the floor. Because it can be played on any basketball court, we can find training venues close to you.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create "Players with Intelligence and Vision while On the ball" (look, that spells PIVO!), and have fun doing it!
