Overview
The junior program is designed to provide all children with the means of developing superior Futsal skills in an enjoyable and encouraging environment.
Our philosophy is to keep class sizes to a maximum of 12 students to ensure that each child will receive ample attention from the coach, both one on one and within the group environment.
We will guarantee that your child will receive hundreds of touches of the ball at each session and will always be engaged.
Session times
Beginners (Friday 5:30 - 6:30pm)
Our class for beginners runs for one hour every Friday evening from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. Children who have had little/no experience in either Futsal or outdoor Football (soccer) would typically be suited to the beginner’s class.
Intermediate (Friday 6:30 - 7:30pm)
Our intermediate/advanced class is also staged on a Friday evening, from 6.30 – 7.30pm. Children who would be suited to this class are typically experienced in either/both Futsal and the outdoor game.
The junior program will normally run parallel with Primary School terms and will span over a nine week period.
Costs and "Try it for Free"
$95 per student for a 9 week term which includes a standard level of player insurance.
Come and try it for FREE
Parents are welcome to bring their child to a session on a first lesson free - “come and try” basis. Parents must book a free session prior by contacting the Flames Futsal coaching staff on 0412 199 639.
Program structure
First and foremost, each session must be fun and engaging for each child. Typically, each session will start with an emphasis on a particular core skill. These include fundamentals like pass, receive, movement etc. Over time, the children will also work on more advanced fundamentals including Team offensive/defensive, shape, set pieces, one on one skills etc.
The emphasised skill will be worked through a series of drills over the first 20-30 minutes with the balance of the session dedicated to match play where the emphasised skill is worked in greater detail.
In addition, external teams of a similar standard will be invited to provide friendly matches which will be played within the normal session timeslot.
Further development and pathway
Our more talented children will be invited to play for the Knox Hornets in the “Supa Liga” which is run by Vic Futsal. This tournament is played at the Oakleigh Recreation Centre on Saturday afternoons/evenings from late October to December and was televised every Wednesday on Channel 31.
Supa Liga features some of the best Futsal players from all regions of Victoria and is used as a means of selection for Victorian state representation.
