JUNIOR futsal competitions are kicking off at the start of term one on the Mornington Peninsula, with Peninsula Futsal hosting weekly matches for local players in Mornington and Rosebud.
Games are held on Sundays at Mornington Civic Reserve and Fridays at Rosebud Basketball Stadium, providing junior players with the opportunity to take part in the fast-paced, five-a-side indoor version of soccer.
The competition caters for under 10, under 12 and under 14 age groups, with an emphasis on skill development, participation and sportsmanship. Futsal is widely used to develop ball control, agility and decision-making and is played by millions of junior soccer players worldwide.
The game is an indoor version of soccer played on a hard court with five players per team including a goalkeeper.
Peninsula Futsal is open to players of all abilities, including those new to the sport, and aims to offer a safe and inclusive environment for children to play locally.
Registrations are currently open, with limited team places available.
More information can be found at www.peninsulafutsal.com.au or on social media.
They also offer adult sessions and will be launching an adult’s league competition this year.
