About
A performance academy, not a participation club.
MN Select FC is a soccer and futsal academy in the southwest Minneapolis metro, built to develop Minnesota’s most ambitious players for college and the collegiate level.
Where most clubs operate as participation-based organizations, MN Select FC is performance-driven. We combine futsal, outdoor soccer, performance training, and international competition into one cohesive development model, built on European coaching standards and run with the discipline of a serious business.
Our technical direction is anchored by Director of Coaching Dusan Jakica, an internationally recognized futsal leader and former U.S. Men’s Futsal National Team head coach. Our purpose is simple: empower players to reach their maximum potential on and off the field, and give every family clarity about the pathway ahead, all the way to the college level.

How we develop players.
Futsal-first foundation
Led by a former U.S. Men's Futsal National Team head coach, futsal runs year-round to build technique and decision-speed that transfer directly to the field.
Phased, periodized season
An indoor futsal foundation, an outdoor transition, and a game-speed finish, each phase with a clear purpose, from reconditioning to tactical polish.
Performance & conditioning
Strength, speed, and agility work woven into training, with load awareness for older ages and a focus on injury prevention.
Bio-banding & honest evaluation
Evidence-based protection for late developers and transparent assessment that informs each player’s individual development plan and selection.
Video & analytics
Veo game video and regular review so feedback is concrete and progress is visible, to the player, the coach, and the family.
College placement
Highlight reels, showcase access, recruiter outreach, and academic guidance, backed by our Tonka Fusion Elite partnership and a staff that knows how recruiting really works.
