    Futsal's fast-paced environment challenges players to think and react quickly under pressure.

Futsal Rules


Futsal has some special rules that make it different from outdoor soccer:


  • No Offsides: Unlike regular soccer, you can't be offside in futsal. This means more chances to attack!
  • Player Changes: You can swap players in and out of the game anytime you want, without stopping the clock. This keeps everyone fresh and the game super fast.
  • Game Time: Games are usually two halves of 20 minutes, but the clock stops whenever the ball goes out or there's a foul. So, you get more actual playing time.
  • Fouls: If you commit too many fouls in one half, the other team gets a special free kick from a bit farther away, making it easier to score.
  • Restarting Play: If the ball goes out on the side, you kick it in instead of throwing it. You have 4 seconds to do it!
  • If the other team kicks it out over your goal line, your goalie throws the ball back in, not kicks it.
  • No Sliding: Most times, you're not allowed to slide tackle in futsal. This makes the game safer and focuses more on skill.


All these rules make futsal a game where you need great ball control, smart moves, and quick thinking. It's a fantastic way to become a better soccer player!

    FUTSAL TRAINING is a 5-week training program created for players that enjoy playing futsal and want to stay busy in the winter and get ready for the spring season. This is also a great place for our younger players who didn’t make our Teams program but might want to play at a higher level in the future. We will have 2 sessions North and 2 sessions South.
