What is Futsal?
Futsal is an exciting, intense sport where defence becomes attack in a matter of seconds. It is a game strongly likened to 5 a side football but with differences such as kick ins, stop clock and rolling subs.
The sport relies on and develops good footwork, a high level of shooting and decision making under pressure. These skills are something that we focus on teaching and can be transferred back into football.
We welcome those of all abilities into our club who wish to compete, develop, play casually, and meet new people!!
