The game of futsal has its origins in South America in the 1930's. The word futsal is simply a contraction of the Spanish "futbol" and "sala" (room), so "football in a room." There are Futsal leagues all over the world at every level, including professional leagues and a FIFA Futsal World Cup every four years.
Futsal, like basketball, is 5 v 5 (in this case 4 + a goalie) for our older groups and played with no goalie for our youngest groups. It is played on a basketball court or other hard surface. Futsal uses a smaller, low-bounce ball that stays at players' feet better, encouraging quick, skilled, controlled play.
MUSC Futsal breaks down into grade-level divisions, from first through 8th grade. The program is open to all Travel and Recreation league players, as well as new players from Montclair and surrounding towns. Futsal is a game-day-only activity. Games are approximately 55 minutes long.
Futsal runs from the first Saturday of January through mid-March. A team jersey is included with registration.
Players must wear shinguards and sneakers. NO CLEATS!
