Suffolk Youth Football League

Suffolk FA are pleased to announce that after the success of last year’s project, our Youth Futsal League’s will be returning across Suffolk for the 2016/17 season. The leagues will take place in Ipswich, Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds and will be delivered in 3 x six week blocks across the course of the season.

Futsal is an adapted indoor version of football which uses a heavier ball and smaller pitch, giving players over twice as many touches of the ball and encouraging faster decision making in players. Players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have recognised futsal as a key contributing factor towards the development of their technical ability and first touch. Our futsal leagues are designed to complement a grassroots team’s existing training session and aims to provide Suffolk’s U9 and U10 teams with the opportunity to experience this fast-paced, dynamic and an exciting indoor version of the game.
