Winter Futsal Registration is LIVE!
Join a NetSports Futsal League this winter! “Futbol Sala” is fast-paced, fun, and technically demanding. It’s the perfect antidote to stagnant skills during the outdoor off-season. Created and popularized in South America, this 5v5 version of soccer is played on a hard court with a weighted ball that limits bouncing. Players are forced to run hard, not hide, and play quickly.
NetSports offers a variety of leagues for players ages 8 through 18, with divisions for intermediate level players and elite.
Futsal is an excellent development tool for the smart player looking to gain an edge and challenge themselves. Pro players the world over credit Futsal with aiding their development, specifically improving speed of play and creativity.
