Homer's 2019 Futsal Soccer League

This winter Homer will be joining the Alaska Futsal League (AFL) for a 10 week season that starts the week of October 14th and runs through the week of December 16th. There will be 4 league games in Anchorage on November 9/10 and the AFL State Tournament is also in Anchorage on December 14/15 (December 7/8 for U19 teams). This league is for kids U9 (born in 2011) through U19 (born in 2001). We hope to get enough participants to have at least 2 teams in each age group. There must be at least 7 and no more than 11 participants per team. Whether the teams will be boys only, girls only or co-ed will depend on the amount of participants we get. Practices will take place at Homer's very own indoor SPARC facility.

Futsal is a high intensity, fast paced, dynamic, and enjoyable 5-a-side version of soccer that caters for both male and female participants. It's the only 5-a-side game that is officially recognized by FIFA and is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

Futsal is played on a smaller, hard-court surface with a smaller, low bounce ball. It"s played with touchline boundaries and without walls. Without the use of walls, futsal is a great skill-developer, demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing. The smaller court size, all players are constantly involved and there is never a dull moment, as defense transforms to attack in a split second. The court size helps players develop close control, quick decision making, speed and agility.

Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. The surface and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity, technique and ball control and passing in small spaces.
