Futsal Brazil Overview:
EduKick is extremely excited to introduce for the first time the summer camp of
a lifetime for aficionados of Futsal (five-a-side soccer, no walls), the only
indoor sport sanctioned by FIFA, the world governing body of soccer! The "EduKick
Futsal Brazil" - Portuguese Language & Brazilian Culture Futsal Program is being
hosted by the Futsal experts of Brazilian Futsal Institute (BFI).
In August of 2006 EduKick offers youth Futsal players an exceptional language &
culture Futsal camp in Aguas de Lindoia, Sao Paulo. The EduKick program is based
in the picturesque Oscar Training Center, in Aguas de Lindoia, Brazil. Aguas de
Lindoia is a quaint Brazilian town situated 2.5 hours from Sao Paulo
Participating youth train daily with Brazilian Futsal Institute Professional
Futsal Coaches in Aguas de Lindoia. Brazilian Futsal Institute is the only
Futsal Organization in Brazil that offers year around full time professional
Futsal Training Programs for players and teams.
São Paulo and its rival Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro have often been compared
to New York and Los Angeles respectively. If Rio has gained fame for its
striking natural setting, Sao Paulo’s attraction lies in its people and its
vibrant cultures.
A more cosmopolitan city than its counterpart, São Paulo possesses significant
ethnic communities, including substantial Japanese, Italian, and Arab and
Lebanese Christian neighborhoods. Its museums are among the finest in South
America, its surrounding coastline is graced with many lovely beaches and its
selection of entertainment options is unparalleled in the southern hemisphere.
Program Highlights: Daily Futsal training will take place at a Colegio Sao Joe,
a private school in Aguas de Lindoia and Portuguese language instruction
(optional) will take place at the Oscar Training Center Complex.

physical therapy and rehab department, lodging for 180 players, indoor and

Cultural tours of São Paulo will be planned such as a visit to Ibirapuera Park
where the Planetarium and Aeronautical Museum (where a replica of the 14 BIS,
the world’s first plane to took flight) are located as well as the Museum of
Modern Art and various historic monuments.
EduKick athletes will visit the Morumbi Stadium , home to São Paulo F.C. soccer
club and one of the largest privately owned stadiums in the world, and attend a
Brazilian professional league game. Our athletes will attend a professional
futsal practice run by São Paulo F.C., the current state champion. EduKick
athletes will also attend an official Brazilian Championship Futsal match. Visit
