What is Futsal and why are we playing it?

Futsal is soccer, but often played indoors and always on a hard, fast surface. Children quickly develop skills required for their outdoor soccer game: balance, motor ability, agility and co-ordination, plus ball mastery, accurate & quick passing / receiving, perception, insight and awareness. Children learn through repetition and when they practice in small areas this occurs naturally. As Futsal is fast and action packed, fitness is improved while learning and having fun. We find children love playing Futsal. It is exciting, many goals are scored, and the game is devoid of complex rules such as off-sides. Children learn so much faster if they enjoy the game and spend a lot of time playing with the ball.

Summer Pick-Up Soccer - 2025

During the summer we will be running a weekly pickup session for all players, regardless of Club affiliation, to continue playing thoughout the summer in “pick-up” style scrimmage sessions. The session fees will be kept low, but we will provide professional Coaches to supervise and provide minimal instruction.

We provide these “Scrimmage” sessions because this is an intergral part of learning to play the game, and what kids also love doing the most - PLAY! Scrimmaging lets kids test their skills within a live game environment, while also building their decision-making skills within the game, which is extremely important as the game is dynamic and fluid. Unfortunately kids in the USA do not scrimmage enough to build these decision making skills compared to other countries around the world, which is why our summer program will become focused around this.

Players will be placed in groups to scrimmage which will be mixed across age groups and vary in formats from 4v4 to 9v9 to test players within different game environments.

  • 6 Wednesdays from 7/2 to 8/6 with sessions starting at 5:00pm or 6:30pm (Field TBD)

Pre-Season Summer Camp

Travel Pre-Season Camp: Aug 25th-28th

We will hold an optional pre-season camp for all Travel players the week prior to the Fall season start. This camp provides players an opportunity to get touches on the soccer ball, sharpen their skills and work tactically with the coaches prior to the Fall season start.

For this camp we will mix certain age groups together where relevent (7v7, 9v9, 11v11) to provide a better camp environment and pre-season feeling with the ability to scrimmage and coach within the game, while still having all of our team coaches involved with the group. This means we will have multiple coaches working with groups and benefits our players to learn from the experience and expertise of a variety of coaches, alongside their team coach for the season.

Links for this camp will open once tryout offers are sent out to players
