Junior Futsal Academies
Futsal is the way children in Brazil and Spain learn to play football. The simple formula of fewer players and a smaller pitch ensures players touch the ball more often and have to make more decisions. The low bounce of the ball also helps precise control and develops confidence. Bristol City Community Trust recognises that Futsal is the future of football development in England and now delivers weekly sessions at Action Indoor Sport.
Our sessions are led by England International Ian Parkes. He focuses on technical work, small-sided activities and lots of game play. Based on the ‘Golden Age’ of skill mastery, these sessions are targeted at 8-11 year olds. They are then supplemented by further sessions for 12-16 year olds to create a player pathway which leads on to the Futsal programme.

The sessions run on Mondays and Tuesdays and cost £4 per session:
8-11 year olds – 4-5pm
12-16 year olds – 5-6pm
The Trust also delivers specialist Futsal sessions for individual teams or clubs. With the winter months approaching and the grass pitches deteriorating, this is the perfect time to start training inside and experience the benefits of Futsal. We have junior Futsal leagues starting soon which would provide a competitive edge to training.
