“My experience with Madison Forge has been beneficial in ways I could never have imagined whilst I was growing & training through the Developmental and National Forge academies. The confidence I built while training with Ilir and all of the wonderful coaches at Forge was easily translated into my outdoor game and has allowed me to be successful at the high school, club, and collegiate levels of soccer! I wouldn’t be the player I am today without the skill and knowledge I gained by being a Madison Forge futsal player!”

Sawyer FitzRandolph

“The game speeds up every time you move up a level, and Division 1 college is another example of that.  I’m really thankful for my years with Forge.  Playing futsal helped me slow the game of soccer down so I can make better decisions on the field and execute them.”

Jimmy Murphy

Former Forge National Player and Current Southern Indiana (Div 1)

“Every time I stepped into a forge practice I felt challenged physically and technically. The practice was intense and fast paced. This helped me playing in a D1 College because the practices are very intense and I am always being challenged in many ways.”
