Camden and Islington
3-a-side Youth Futsal League
What is it
A unique league in which teams play 3vs3. We use smaller goals, 120cm x 75 cm, and adopt unique futsal rules.
You can either enter into a specific team or you can register as a solo player and be placed into an appropriate team.
There are 12 spaces in each league and matchdays are once a week.
The league is open to everyone.
Futsal is played on a hard court, mainly indoors, using a specialist ball that is heavy and does not bounce.
Having a small playing area forces all players to fully participate and be involved and helps the players get plenty more touches of the ball using different parts of the feet, which in turn helps players refine technique.
Where is it
- All games are played in Highbury fields on the tarmac courts. Each age group is allocated a specific match day and time.
- Fixtures will be placed in advance on our website. Results and top goal scorers are updated weekly.
Benefits of 3-a-side
- A fast paced game to help players improve speed
- Players get more touches of the futsal compared to a conventional 7-a-side
- Tighter space to improve speed of decision making and close control
- Non defending zones mean children must learn how to press and deny space
Match day
- Each team plays two 25 minute games on match day.
- Results, goal scorers and man of the matches are recorded and updated on our website weekly
- Each team plays twice; the league lasts 11 weeks, with 22 games played in total.
