Setting up a Futsal club

I’m looking at setting up a Futsal club at my local leisure centre. 

The idea is to have it set up for different age groups. Under 7/8 9/10 11/12 13/14 

What sort of things do I need to think of with regards to -  Insurance / Equipment? 

Help to hear anybody start up tips 

  • Hi Matthew. I started off with just an U10 age group who are now at U16. I just slowly progressed as confidence grew to then bring in another age group. Your sessions will be adapted to the age you are coaching and often I will plan a single session which I can use for every age group we have.

    Possibly look at and U8, 10, 12, 14, 16 rather than each specific age, but if you have the capacity at each age group then thats great.

    Equipment wise. obviously futsal balls size 3 upto u13, size 4 beyond. flat cones often work better than on a sports hall surface. recommend bazooka goals. ive tried several other brands and they dont come close. whiteboard is always handy with magnets to give players the visual element.

    you will need some insurance to cover any injuries or liabilities.

    feel free to ask more

  • Hi Matthew - I started my journey about 6 months ago and while a huge struggle, it has been amazing so far. I am happy to have a chat and we can swap notes.
