Middlesex FA announce dates for FA Youth Futsal Cup
Now in its eighth year, the competition was set up to promote Futsal, offer an opportunity to try Futsal in a competitive environment and also to provide a route into The FA Youth National Futsal Cup. These aims have not changed and as the seasons go by it is been great to see more and more teams be involved in this competition.
For those not familiar with the format, Futsal is a five-a-side game, normally played on a flat indoor pitch with hockey sized goals and a ball with a reduced bounce. Futsal by its nature places a large emphasis on technical ability in situations of high pressure, and proves an excellent tool for players to develop their technique.
How does it work?
The Middlesex FA Youth Futsal Cup will take place across the county through November & December 2019. It is open to all boys and girls aged 9 to 16 years and it costs just £30 per team to enter.
