Macron Gloucester Store Adult Futsal League
Gloucester's Futsal League goes from strength to strenth.The league takes place at GL1 on Thursday night's from 9pm-11pm, where there will be two 40 minute games a night over a 10-14 week period.
Futsal is the game that all the world's top players like Messi and Ronaldo grew up playing. Matches are played within line restrictions on a longer and wider pitch than a traditional five-a-side. The ball is heavier to reduce bounce and thus produce more skill and technique. The game is five-a-side, but with rotating squads of 12, with adapted rules and no rebound boards. The game is also based around fair play and respect.
Players must be over 16 years of age and the current cost of eeach match is £25 per team. There may also be a nominal one off fee for registration and insurance costs.
For more details, please contact Jonathan Edmunds, on 01452 396659 or email .
