Futsal is a fast-paced, indoor variant of soccer played on a hard court with a smaller, low-bounce ball. The game emphasizes quick thinking, precise ball control, and rapid decision-making. Playing futsal enhances players' technical skills, agility, and overall soccer intelligence, which translates effectively to outdoor soccer performance.

Our HQ is based in Albany, New York. Sessions are typically conducted at one of the Afrims locations: Afrims Colonie: 636 Albany Shaker Rd. Albany, NY 12211 Afrims Latham: 4 Jacqueline Ave, Latham, NY 12110 Afrims Malta: 2381 US-9, Mechanicville, NY 12118 Afrims Sports Park: 969 Watervliet Shaker Rd, Colonie, NY 12205 To stay up-to-date with the locations of our sessions, simply sign up to our email list. We send out a weekly email that includes the locations for the upcoming week. After signing up for a session, you will receive a confirmation email that also includes the location for that specific session. Please be sure to check your confirmation email for the location information before attending the session.

Players should bring: Soccer cleats (or indoor shoes if training inside) Shin guards (Not if a 1:1 session) Gloves (If a GK session) Water bottle Proper training attire A great attitude and willingness to improve.

Players can specify a focus area when booking their session. If no focus is specified, we follow our structured curriculum, which progresses players through core development areas.

No, all of our staff members have been onboarded with Beestera’s philosophy and curriculum. Players will rotate between two coaches, all of whom are trained to deliver high-quality sessions, so you can be confident in the experience regardless of the coach assigned.

Private training focuses on individual player development through personalized coaching. It is the purest form of Beestera’s approach—focusing on the individual within the collective. Unlike team training, which may prioritize tactics and team play, private sessions help players refine technical skills and confidence in a one-on-one or small-group setting.

We typically run 1:1/small group sessions every day. The scheduling system operates on a weekly basis. New sessions will be added to www.beestera.com/privates on Saturday's @ 8am for the upcoming week. We will be continuously updating as and when more coaches and locations become available so keep checking the website for times. Subscribe to our mailing list to be the first to know when time slots have been added: 1. Visit www.beestera.com 2. Enter email address when it says 'Stay on the Ball'.

We value your time and we would appreciate you valuing ours -- especially because we have many players who wish to book sessions. We want to be somewhat flexible, but a late cancellation means that we may not have the ability to fill that time slot, therefore: Cancelations received within 12 hours of the training session starting will be charged a full payment fee. Cancelations received between 12-24 hours of the training sessions starting will be charged a half payment fee. Cancelations received beyond the listed times above will not be charged. Rescheduling Policy We’re here to support your busy life, so you can reschedule your session, as long as it’s 24+ hours from the scheduled date. Contact james@beestera.com to reschedule your session. A request to reschedule a session within 24 hours will be considered the same as a cancellation and will have the same layered consequences as the cancellation policy listed above. *We reserve the right to make certain exceptions to these policies as needed such as a medical emergency etc.

Yes, we encourage parents to watch the sessions. However, we ask that parents do not provide feedback during training. If we hear or see a parent affecting the session (e.g., giving instructions from the sideline, making comments, or creating an environment where the player seems afraid to make mistakes), we may kindly ask the parent to step away for a few minutes. This ensures the player can engage fully with the coach and focus on their development without added pressure.

All of our coaches are highly experienced, licensed professionals with extensive playing and coaching backgrounds. We have former and current head college coaches, each following Beestera’s philosophy of "Developing the Individual Within the Collective", ensuring a high-quality, player-focused training experience.

At Beestera, we operate in a carousel format due to high demand. This means that two or three coaches are present at the training location, each working with individual players or small groups simultaneously. Players rotate between two coaches during the session, benefiting from different coaching styles and expertise. All of our staff members have been onboarded with Beestera’s philosophy and curriculum, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience. Regardless of which coach is assigned, players will receive expert instruction aligned with Beestera’s development methodology.

We train players of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to elite athletes. Our curriculum is adaptable to meet each player's unique needs.

Absolutely not. There are certain things in team training that we simply cannot replicate in a 1:1 or small group session. These sessions are used to supplement team training. If there is a choice between team training and our sessions, team training should come first.

The cost of private training depends on the number of players in the session. Our standard private training rate is $80 per hour, but the cost decreases when more players are added to the session. Small group training allows players to split the cost while still receiving individualized coaching.

At Beestera Camps we pride ourselves on the holistic development of each camper. Campers will be challenged physically, cognitively, emotionally and socially in order to give them the most authentic experience possible. Our mission is to develop great players and better people.

We provide both day and residential camps, with training programs for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced.

All USSC employees, applicants, Camp Directors, staff, coaches and campers are prohibited from engaging in discrimination. GENDER DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION We Promote Gender Diversity and Inclusion.

Respect the privacy of campers by declining to comment or share information about the gender identity or expression of any camper. WAITLISTED CAMPS Due to the high demand for our camps, many sell out. Once we have reached capacity, campers may join our free waitlist to be notified if spaces become available at a later date. Up until the week before camp, our procedure for adding campers from the waitlist is to notify families by email and/or phone in order of their position on the waitlist. Campers will then be given a specified amount of time to reply and claim their spot. If we have not heard back within the stated time period, we will move on to the next waitlisted camper. If a space becomes available within 5 business days or less before camp, we notify all waitlisted campers at the same time via email to register on a first-come, first-serve basis. COMMUNICATION WITH CAMPERS DURING CAMP Campers are permitted to call their family and friends during their breaks and after hours, unless otherwise specified by the Camp Director. We do not allow the use of cell phones during training sessions. If you need to reach your child for an urgent matter, please call the on-site Director/Staff contact’s phone number provided with your pre-camp reminder email. Our on-site staff will put you in touch with your camper. If the matter is not urgent, please leave a message and someone will be in touch. If campers have any concerns such as grouping, homesickness, illness or injury, etc., please ask them to talk to their on-site camp coach or Camp Director directly. We are committed to making this a great experience for your child and want to deal with all issues immediately, which is easiest and most effective if done in real-time, on-site. If need be, parents may call the camp phone number and speak to a member of our staff as well. CAMP CODE OF CONDUCT Our primary objective is to create positive change in the campers who attend our camps. Moreover, we want to ensure the safety of our campers at all times and provide a healthy, learning atmosphere. To achieve these objectives, we ask that campers conduct themselves in a positive and responsible manner. With that in mind, we created a Positive Code of Conduct and ask that all campers do their best to adhere to it: To think positive and act positive throughout your stay with us. To behave with proper etiquette at the facility at all times. To treat fellow campers and coaches with the respect, consideration and kindness they deserve. To be on time for all camp functions. To report any personal problems or concerns to a staff member immediately. To report any sign of illness or injury to a staff member immediately. To stay with the assigned staff member (i.e. chaperone or coach) at all times. To stay in assigned groups at all camp functions.

Our international coaches will be state side from June 15th to September 8th. You can host a coach for the entire summer. You can host a coach for 1 week, from Sunday evening to Sunday morning. Every host duration, whether it is 1 week or 2 months, is valuable.

1. Contact Josh Binfield, the Assistant Director of Camps, at josh@beesterasoccertraining.com and fill out our host family questionnaire - Since safety is our priority, every host family must pass a home check and background check. - Once accepted, Josh will work with you to place an international coach in your home.

Beestera staff will provide transportation for the coach both to and from the camp location. If families are willing to assist with drop and pick up, that would help immensely as coaches will not have a designated car.

International coaches arrive with their own money and are responsible for personal expenses, social outings, and other activities. Coaches are paid weekly for their coaching duties. Host families are not required to provide any cash allowance.

Our international coaches were hand picked in person at a coaches convention in the UK by Beestera Soccer Training staff. Each coach has gone through an extensive interview process with Beestera Soccer Training staff, and we believe we are bringing over hard working, polite, and personable people that want to fully immerse themselves in the American culture.

No. IENA, our sponsoring agency, insures the international coaches. Any costs incurred by the student for medical care is the responsibility of the student’s natural parents or the student’s sponsoring agency.

1. Provide a comfortable living space for the duration of the coach’s stay. 2. Provide three meals a day during the coach’s stay (note: if the coach chooses to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner elsewhere, they are responsible for the cost). 3. Provide an authentic US experience for the international coach.

Help us recruit host families. Word of mouth in the Beestera community means a lot!

If a problem arises, Beestera Soccer Training staff are there to help you solve it.

Yes! Some families prefer the experience of hosting two international coaches at the same time. Some international coaches prefer to be with another coach.

ASAP — the earlier you contact us and fill out the questionnaire, the more likely we can place a coach with you. Host families should have confirmed their availability at least one more before our first summer camp.
