Join my International Futsal Journey!

Hello,

Thank you for visiting my page!  This is Lucas and I am working with my Mama to set this page up!  Everyone knows that my favorite thing in the entire world is soccer & futsal (aside from my family of course)! I am truly passionate about soccer & futsal, about building myself, and training to do my best every single day. My goal is to travel the world playing, and my dream is to one day play professional soccer!

I am checking off goals 1 by 1. Just over a year ago, I made a goal: earn an invitation to United Futsal National Training Camp (NTC). If I earned that invite to NTC, my 2nd goal: earn an invite to the prestigious United Futsal FUTURES. FUTURES is the top program & the international component to individual player development. 

I have been training soccer and futsal daily over the last year, playing for my soccer club Ginga FC, and Futsal with Alianza, Brazil CT Samba, and CT Select. I am so fortunate to have some great clubs and fantastic coaches surrounding me, educating me and helping me develop as a player and person. 

Over the last year, I have worked extremely hard and I have earned some incredible opportunities.

  • 2024 FC Barca Experience (Spain)
  • 2024 United Futsal World Tour Team (England)
  • 2024 United Futsal Pro-X (Valencia, Spain)
  • 2024 United Futsal National Training Camp (Virginia)
  • 2025 Real Madrid Experience (Spain)
  • 2025 United Futsal World Tour (Australia)
  • 2025 United Futsal Futures (Spain)
  • Team ISL Donasti Cup 2025 (Spain)
  • International Showcase (USA)

January 2024: GOAL #1 UNLOCKED: United Futsal National Training Camp invite.

  • NTC is a big deal in the world of futsal. I was humbled and honored to have been invited. In less than a year, I achieved the very first Futsal goal I made for myself. It was a fantastic experience with coaches from all over the world. I got to see my friends from Pro-X and those who I trained with and played against in various tournaments in the US. The kits were incredible too! NTC is where out of the roughly 500 players from across the country (spread into West & East training centers) the top 20 players from each age group are selected to be part of United Futsal Futures. 

This is where I set my eyes on my 2nd Futsal goal. Earn a spot as one of the top 20 2014 futsal players.

June 2024: GOAL #2 UNLOCKED: United Futsal FUTURES invite

  • UF selected the top 20 players from each age group from both West and East National Training Camps. Out of a couple of hundred players born in 2014, I was nominated by my coaches at NTC as one of the top 20!!
  • FUTURES will take place in March 2025. This program will allow me the opportunity to train, compete and live the life of a professional futsal player in Santa Susana Spain. This is intense, elite level training, conducted by some of the highest level futsal coaches from USA, Spain, Brazil and Australia. We will play matches against the local players and many opportunities to further develop our knowledge and experience with futsal.
  • **I have already committed and put the deposit in for FUTURES!!

June 2024: United Futsal World Tour Team invite

January 2025, Australia

  • Selected players have the opportunity to compete in one of the largest international stages in the world, the Gold Coast Futsal International Tournament. This event was established in 2010 and features over 250 teams from Australia & Oceania countries. 
  • Tournament players and families will spend 6 days in the Gold Coast. During down time from the tournament, players will go to the Steve Irwin Zoo, tour local towns and beaches. 
  • After the tournament, players and families will fly to Sydney, Australia where they will tour iconic sites since as the Sydney Opera House.
  • *Even with donations, the World Tour may not be feasible due to school, my parent's PTO and the cost of flights** 

Every day, I know that I give it my best. I know I am not "the" best player, but I always give my best effort, my best attitude, the best of me. I will never let anyone "out heart me".  It makes me really happy to know that I am recognized for my hard work, dedication, passion, ambition, and teamwork! I love this game so much and it makes me happy others can see that. I love playing, I love learning from my amazing coaches and I am having so much fun playing a sport I love. I know at my age, “fun” can be different to different kids. For me, FUN, is focusing and working hard with my goals and dreams in mind. Fun is in the challenge; fun is in the reward of personal growth. I stay positive and focused on doing my best at something I love. I play as much as I can; I want as many touches as possible, and in as many different environments as possible. Sometimes, my parents have to actually tell me to take a day off, rest my legs and sit on the couch to play video games. I always want more. 

To excel, I am constantly pushing the limits, training hard everyday, and constantly learning about the game! In my ‘free’ time, I watch video to learn, train in the training area my parents built in the garage and read books on soccer IQ and mental toughness. I am also over a 500+ day streak in DuoLingo learning both Spanish and Portuguese.

This opportunity to go play for United Futsal World Tour Team and United Futsal FUTURES is exciting and humbling. I am thrilled to have met the goals I have set for myself so far. I am ready to work hard and enjoy all of the knowledge and experiences United Futsal has to offer across the ocean; but I need help getting there!  

This opportunity is incredible but it comes with costs for my flight and for my parents to accompany me (flight, hotel, joining the experiences etc). By supporting me today, you are investing into something bigger than just a fundraiser. You're changing my life. This is one more step in traveling the world playing the sport I love. You are helping me do this! Helping make my dreams, my reality! Thank you for your support!
