As VSA continues to take steps in a positive direction during this unusual time we are excited to announce the return of VSA FC this Winter!
We will be entering our 5th year with last year being our largest yet! The inductions of the new leagues for our teams have proven to be extremely beneficial and made for an incredible experience for coaches, players and families.
Futsal provides players an opportunity to stay active and continue their player development throughout the winter months. With the speed of play that futsal brings and the reduced numbers, players will enhance their technical abilities while challenging their decision-making skills with and without the ball.
“As a player, Futsal played a pivotal role in my development”, says Futsal Director, Nick Foglesong. “It challenges players to make quicker decisions on the ball and teaches them how to be creative and efficient in tight spaces”.
VSA FC will be taking all safety precautions to ensure the health of our players and staff. The program will follow proper CDC Guidelines for training sessions and league play which will be released closer to the tryout date for families.
Program Objectives:
Provide quality training and demanding learning environment
Provide technical/tactical training in the game of Futsal
Provide players with quality localized training
With much collaboration and discussion, we have decided, as a Club, the best plan moving forward for our Futsal Program is going outside to the Turf. We have taken into account the following principles that has guided us through these unprecedented times:
1- The Health and Safety concerns of all players and families
2- Minimizing risks
3- Current and Future Developments regarding state guidelines
Given the uncertainties of Covid-19 and how restrictions can change over the next month, moving the program outside ensures that we can control an environment that will still be beneficial for the players while minimizing risk and exposure of Covid. Though we know Futsal is traditionally played on a hard surface - the program will still provide a competitive, developmental, and enjoyable culture while laying the framework of Futsal principles of play for those not as familiar with the game.
VSA FC will consist of training activities related to the game of Futsal and then playing 5v5 under Futsal Constraints:
∙ Regulation Futsal field dimensions
