UKCFDS – Home of Futebol de Salão in the UK
UKCFDS is the organisation behind the SOCATOTS and Brazilian Soccer Schools grassroots training programmes.
Our programmes have been developed around the Brazilian game of Futebol de Salão, a more technically challenging version of the classic game played with a smaller ball.
Since 1996, we have helped coaches across 13 countries realise their dream of running their own coaching academies and helped them train many 10,000s of young people using our unique approach.
Partnering with UKCFDS is the fastest way to succeed as a grassroots coach and to help develop the next generation of football stars.

Take the next step…
Most of our franchisees began exactly where you are – in full-time work, with real bills and real responsibilities.
They didn’t wait for the perfect moment; they committed, and then built their business around evenings and weekends before it became their full time job.
Commit properly and the income grows beside your salary, session by session, until stepping into your role as a coach full time is the obvious next move.
And from the moment you make the decision to go for it, we’re beside you. 25+ years of experience, a proven model, real people at the end of the phone.
You bring the commitment. We’ll make sure it pays off.
Take the first step today.
SOCATOTS is the leading football-related physical development programme for young children aged between six months and five years.
Built around fun, systematic sessions that bring parents onto the floor alongside their child, it turns early movement, confidence and connection into something families genuinely look forward to every week.
SOCATOTS presents a complete programme full of popular, fun and engaging activities for children and their parents.
This is achieved through a specifically designed syllabus of 200+ individual core movements and skills, which are taught and evaluated using our proprietary method of assessment the Skills Badge Scheme.
Futebol de Salão allows the core moves and skills taught and assessed in sessions to be integrated into the insanely fast, tightly compressed & highly pressurized environment of 5 a side football.
