What is Futsal? Think mini soccer played in a gym!
Futsal is a soccer-based sport played on a hardcourt like a basketball court, smaller than a soccer pitch, and mainly indoors. Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlike some other forms of indoor soccer, it is played on a hard court surface marked by lines; walls or boards are not used. It is played with a smaller, harder, lower-bounce ball than soccer. The surface, ball and rules favour ball control and passing in small spaces.
Our game will be adapted to meet the needs of our younger age groups.
