Devils FC - Winter Futsal Program for BYSA Players

The Burlington Youth Soccer Association is pleased to announce the details of our first in town Winter Futsal program. The goal of the program is to allow BYSA players the opportunity to 1) have fun and 2) improve their soccer skills during the off season. We believe that the program will give our players the opportunity to stay connected to the BYSA community during the winter and will further instill in our players a passion for the game of soccer.

The details of the program are as follows:

Who  The Program is being offered to the boys and girls U10, U12 and U14 age groups.

There will be no practices. o The games consist of two 25 minute halves o The roster size is ten per team. o Futsal balls and nets will be used. o Five players for each team will play on the court at a time (four plus a keeper). o The teams will be level loaded based on fall placement. The goal is to make each of the teams as even as possible to make the program enjoyable and fun for all of the players.
