About Just For Kicks FC

Brazilian-Inspired Soccer Development in McAllen, Texas

At Just For Kicks FC, we're more than a soccer club — we're a player development academy rooted in the joy, flair, and creativity of Brazilian-style football. Based in McAllen, Texas, we specialize in building confident, skillful players from the ground up through age-appropriate training that’s fun, technical, and challenging.

Founded on the belief that soccer should be expressive, purposeful, and development-focused, our programs mirror the philosophy that made Brazil a global football powerhouse:
 master the ball first — the rest will follow.

At the heart of our program is Coach Luiz Abreu, a passionate mentor and former player from Brazil who brings high-level instruction with a personal touch. Every session is an opportunity for players to grow — not only as athletes but also as individuals with strong values and self-belief.

Our Approach

We take a player-first approach, blending street-style creativity with structured technical training. Our academy develops players ages 3 and up through a progressive system that focuses on:

• Ball mastery and footwork
  
  

• 1v1 creativity and confidence
  
  

• Small-sided decision-making
  
  

• Team play and tactical awareness
  
  

Whether your child is taking their first steps into the game or leveling up into competitive play, our coaches nurture a growth mindset in every session. Training is high energy, positive, and designed to inspire.

Our Mission

To develop well-rounded, confident young players who love the game and have the technical foundation to thrive at any level — from local leagues to elite competition.

Why Brazilian Style?

Because it works. Brazilian training prioritizes creativity, rhythm, and a deep connection to the ball. This method produces not only better players, but more passionate and instinctive ones. At Just For Kicks FC, we channel this style to shape modern players who are smart, technical, and fearless.
