FREE! Friday night Futsal taster session

Published on Tuesday, 18th February 2014

Young people from across Burntwood are invited to try out five-a-side football at Erasmus Darwin Academy on Friday 28 February, from 8.30pm to 10pm.

Lichfield District Council is offering a free Futsal taster session to 14 to 18 year olds who live or go to school across the Burntwood area.

Futsal is a growing craze in which football is played with a smaller, heavier ball indoors with two teams of five.

The taster session will be followed by a Futsal tournament that will run on Friday nights over four-weeks this spring.

Councillor Andrew Smith, Lichfield District Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure & Parks, said: “This taster session is a great way for local teens to try out the sport for free to see if they want to take part in the four-week tournament.”

The Futsal tournament will take place at Erasmus Darwin Academy on Friday nights from 9pm to 10pm on 7, 14 and 28 March and 4 April 2014. It is also for local 14 to 18 year olds and is free to take part.

The Futsal taster session and tournament is organised by Lichfield District Council’s Sports Development team and is supported by Lichfield District Safer Community Partnership, Staffordshire Youth and Community Services, and Staffordshire FA.
