Futsal is 5v5 football played indoors. It is played with a smaller, harder, lower-bounce ball than football. The game emphasises control, improvisation, creativity and technique.
We enter teams into the Western BOP leagues during the Summer months, Terms 4 (Oct - Dec) and 1 (Feb - Apr).
Grades Available
U9 Mixed & U11 Girls
There are no leagues for these grades. U11 girls can play U11 Mixed. Players are encouraged to join WaiBOP's Skill Centre.

Futsal Registrations are now open.
They will close Friday 16th February so we can form teams.
If you have a team, please mention this (or friends to play with) in the Registration process.
Apologies for the short registration time, we have been waiting for confirmation from WaiBOP on a couple of details.
Unfortunately, venue availability is limited in Term 1. Therefore, the season is only 5 weeks long. The fees have been reduced in Term 1 fees to reflect this.
This also means there are no options for grades under age 11 this term.
Dates: 25 February - 7 April (Sundays, 5 weeks - no play 3 March)
Venues: Mercury Arena & QEYC (community court)
