Athlete development comes first.
Jacksonville Futsal Academy is an indoor, climate-controlled soccer and futsal development facility for athletes, teams, and families in Jacksonville, North Carolina. We are a dedicated athlete-development environment — not simply an open-gym facility.
Our mission
We started JFA for the love of development. Individual skills should not be overlooked simply to chase short-term wins.
Our approach
Structured, energetic, technical training with high involvement, high repetition, and meaningful correction. We develop complete soccer athletes — not athletes simply run through drills.
Our home
JFA is located at 210 Ellis Blvd, Jacksonville, NC 28540. Train year-round regardless of heat, rain, or typical outdoor weather.
Develop with purpose.

Coach Andrew
Swedberg.
Founder & Director · Jacksonville Futsal Academy
Andrew began coaching youth soccer in 2017 while helping coach his son. That first team grew into a lasting commitment to player development and coaching education, including U.S. Soccer Grassroots 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 courses and a higher-level coaching course through the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association.
As his teams reached the U9 age group, Andrew began bringing indoor soccer and futsal into their development. The facility that became JFA was originally purchased for indoor airsoft; after seeing how much athletes benefited from the faster pace, constant touches, and year-round environment, he began converting it into a dedicated indoor training space for the Jacksonville community.
His approach puts development ahead of short-term results: confident athletes who are comfortable on the ball, use both feet, make quicker decisions, understand movement and space, and grow as players and people.
Indoor year-round
A weather-proof training environment with a hard grey playing surface, yellow futsal markings, indoor goals, and space designed for small-sided training.
Play outdoor. Develop indoor.
Athletes can continue with outdoor clubs, recreational teams, school teams, and other programs while using JFA for added technical and tactical development.
Small-sided purpose
Futsal gives athletes more meaningful decisions, more pressure situations, and more opportunities to build control and confidence.
