RDS Seasonal Clinics

Celebrating 20 Years of Player Development Excellence

For 20 years, the Red Bulls Development School (RDS) has helped young players grow their skills, confidence, and passion for the game through a proven training pathway. As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we remain committed to providing high-quality coaching and a player-first development experience for athletes across the region.

RDS Seasonal Clinics are offered during the spring, fall, and winter seasons, featuring one training session per week over the course of each season.

RDS Futsal Program

Futsal is a fast-paced indoor version of soccer played on a hard court using a smaller, less bouncy ball than a soccer ball. It places a large emphasis on technical skill in high-pressure situations, which can be translated into the outdoor game. It is a great way to develop skills like quick decision-making, close control, speed, and agility as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pinpoint passing.
