Pilot Futsal Programme
Northern Football Federation are pleased to announce the introduction of Futsal to the region and over the coming months we will be introducing Futsal leagues for all ages and abilities in your area. As part of this we are delivering a pilot Futsal programme to the Hibiscus Coast area for Y3-9 and would like to invite all interested students to participate in this.
Futsal is a 5 aside form of Football, predominantly played indoors on a basketball or netball sized court and is the only form of indoor Football endorsed by FIFA and OFC.
Futsal is complementary to Football and provides positive player development at every playing level. The low bounce ball makes ball control easier for younger and inexperienced players whilst playing in a reduced space allows players to experience an increased number of touches on the ball.
NFF Futsal will run the following programmes and leagues in term four 2011:
