ACT Primary Schools Futsal Cup

Report from Capital Football's Chris Gottaas

While the men and women are preparing to contest the grand finals this weekend, ACT juniors will have a chance to show off skills of their own starting tomorrow in indoors as they compete for the ACT Primary Schools Futsal Cup.



A record number of 50 teams nominations has been received this year with matches to be held at the Tuggeranong Basketball Stadium with action kicking off tomorrow for the 5/6 boys, and on Friday 21 September - for the 5/6 Girls and years 3/4 divisions with games commencing at 8:30 am on both days.

The competition began in 2003 and has enjoyed steady growth since it’s inception but as the fifth year approaches the previous record of 33 teams looks insignificant compared to this year’s impressive number of registrants.

Last year’s winners include, Miles Franklin Primary (division 5/6), Kaleen Primary (division ¾) and Emmaus Christian School in the girls 5/6 division.

“The ACT Primary Schools Futsal Cup it’s a great opportunity to endorse the indoor version of football to the junior school students across the ACT and hopefully see them take part in our local junior competitions,” Capital Football’s Futsal Manager Michael Edwards said.

“Football skills are transferable between the indoor and outdoor versions of the game with Futsal providing a great opportunity for juniors to improve their technique and skill following in the footsteps of many top footballers world wide.”

Competition results will be regularly updates on the Capital Football Futsal website (www.actfutsal.asn.au ).

The Capital Football Futsal competition is set to kick off in mid October with registrations to close for the seniors at the end of the months while the juniors need to hurry with limited spots available.

Please find attached a list of the teams involved.
