2024 Winter Futsal Programs
Our winter programs offer players a chance to experience Futsal. Futsal, is a variation of the game of soccer, typically played on hard floors with a smaller heavier ball. The purpose of Futsal for us is to provide a game that teaches technique and ball manipulation. Players are encouraged to be more creative and develop confidence keeping possession of the ball.
All players should wear shin guards and futsal shoes are recommended over sneakers.

4v4 Futsal for Junior/Senior Recreation & Travel Players Birth Years 2015 through 2010
Futsal, a game of transitions and turnovers, is played in a gym-like environment with a low-bounce ball that is smaller than a normal outdoor soccer ball. It is a great opportunity to work on your technical skills and speed of play.
Our Winter 4v4 program is open to players in Diamond Academy, Travel and Recreation with birth years 2017 through 2010. Players sign up as individuals and will be placed by trainers on mixed gender teams each week. Your placement will rotate each week.
Teams will play in a round-robin style format for 60 minutes. Each individual will be given points based on their teams’ performance each week. Points will be given as follows: Match win - 3 points, Match draw - 1 point and weekly tournament winner - 5 points. A leaderboard will be shared each Sunday. Points will be accumulated throughout the 8 weeks and prizes will be awarded at the end of the season.
All players should wear shin guards and futsal shoes are recommended over sneakers.
