On Wednesday Afternoons we run a Futsal Academy for two age groups. You do not need any experience to attend or need to have played before. 3:30-4:15 Under 10s 4:15-5:00 Under 13s
Our Aim: Developing Skills, Creativity, Innovation and Passion.
Children need to be challenged pushed and encouraged to take risks and step outside their comfort zone in a safe and supportive atmosphere. We look to focus on improvement through learning from mistakes and setbacks. This helps children grow their futsal skills and develop their own personal playstyles. The obvious improvement and success of the improving children in all aspects of play will provide satisfaction enjoyment and a growing confidence leading into a passion for the game and desire to better oneself even further. Not only are we pushing for development of futsal players but the improvements will directly translate to their outdoor football games as well. The development of football as a whole is the overall, long term focus improving quality of the play, the coaching, the refereeing, the exposure and the opportunities within Taranaki.
Positives of Developing Futsal in the Region
- Providing more opportunities for children to play, train and develop their football and futsal skills.
- Provide more chances for parents, coaches and referees to upskill, as there will be more positions available to coach, train, referee. Eventually training programmes could be available in the region to achieve certificates in certain areas.
- Great way for young referees to develop and gain more experience in a smaller and more controlled environment.
