Each winter, Concord Soccer rents space from Brandywine School District on Saturdays so that players can play futsal, which is a 5v5 soccer game within the confines of a basketball court.  There are no walls in play so ball control is paramount.  Here is the basic setup:

- Goals and GKs:  The GK defends a goal that is the width of the lane and can use hands within the 3-point line arc.  The GK can distribute the ball by throw, roll or pass with feet -- no punting.  We encourage the GK to play as a 5th field player so we don't allow shooting from beyond the half line. 

- Balls out of play:  For goal kicks, the GK starts with ball in hand rather than on the ground; corner kicks are as usual; and balls over the sideline are kick ins back into play.

For 2024-25, Winter Futsal is on the following 9 Saturdays in December, January and February:  Dec 7 and 14; Jan 4, 11 and 25; Feb 1, 8 and 22; and Mar 1.  The fee for all 9 one-hour sessions is $90 per player.  Winter Futsal will take place at Springer Middle School, 2220 Shipley Road, Wilmington, Delaware. 

Although Winter Futsal is part of our Development Program, the one-hour session is for play only.  We ask for parents to volunteer to manage the sessions, that is, to bring the equipment, get the game started and keep it running smoothly.  The idea is to let the players play for 60 mins.
