Futsal Fives Royston

Finally, after years of English Football being behind the likes of Spain and Brazil, the incredible version of 'Futsal' has reached our shores. For years it has been used on the continent to develop some of the best players in the modern game. The likes of Messi, Xavi and Ronaldiniho have all been brought up on Futsal, playing the version more than any other up until their late teens.
It is now developing in England and it is now your turn to get involved!
How? - A Royston based Futsal League running as a partnership between Royston Leisure Centre and Royston Town FC, for anyone aged 16 years and above. The Futsal League will be established with the FA and will use their Futsal Fives model.
Where? - Royston Leisure Centre, Royston, Hertfordshire. Fixtures will take place every Sunday between 16.00 and 19.00pm, with the first season starting on Sunday 10 June 2012.
Why? - Having been introduced to Futsal, coaches in the area can see the huge benefits of the fast-paced and skillful game. A team of qualified coaches now want to introduce it to as many players as possible within Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. Not another Summer waiting for pre-season, start playing now and be in a Futsal League over the break!
In the past we have played 5-a-side with indoor balls, often oversized tennis balls that fly around the sports hall with little control. Play one game of Futsal and you will see more touches, more skill and more control - any player who loves an 'ole' moment will love this format!
It's not a replacement to the beautiful game we all love; it's an addition to it. And if it's good enough for Messi, it is good enough for anyone.
So tell your mates and get involved! Any ability - whether you want to improve your skills or simply try it out, just get a team together and enquire for a registration form.
