| The Brazilian Soccer Schools training program works hand in hand with the ICFDS Skills Badge Scheme. The Futebol de Salão Skills Badge Scheme leads to the development of players who can play the game in a way that previously people would have only associated with the great Brazilians of the past. From the very start, the central aim of BSS was to bring the best of Brazil to the world. We all look forward to the day when players who have successfully achieved level 5 are playing in teams at the very highest levels internationally.. |

| First Step & Kick Start Awards |
There is no doubt that even Level 1 of the ICFDS Skills Badge Scheme is difficult to achieve. For our younger players we have introduced two starter levels which will aid the development of basic ball manipulation and passing skills and then help them to progress on to mastering simple ball-juggling techniques.
Children achieving both these awards can apply for a certificate and a special presentation case, containing the ICFDS 'First Step' and 'Kick Start' Badges, to mark their achievement
