What
CSA Winter Futsal Program (U7/U8 - HS age groups) is a fun program that will help keep players active during the winter season. The Winter Futsal Program is games only (no team practices). Futsal is a fast-paced game with frequent ball touches, plenty of scoring opportunities, and rewarding defense. Games will be indoors at locations within Calvert County. Teams will roster a max of 10 players. The program is run by Adult Volunteer Coaches and Assistant Coaches.
***CSA Winter Futsal Program is 5v5 GAMES only. There will not be any practices.
When
Coaches will inform teams of the game schedule once available. Most games will be held on Saturdays and Sundays after 12. Teams can expect to play a minimum of 6 games beginning in early January and running through the beginning of March.
Where
Games will be played at the SOMD Sports Plex in Owings and the Calverton School in Huntingtown. Other locations may be added as needed to accommodate registration numbers.
How Often
Teams can expect to play at least six games. Winter Futsal Program begins in early January and ends by early March.
