Futsal Geelong is the largest provider of Futsal in the Geelong region, operating out of both the Barwon Valley Activity Centre (BVAC) in Belmont and the Leisuretime Sport Precinct in Bell Post Hill.
Futsal is the only form of indoor soccer or five-a-side that is officially approved by FIFA and Football Federation Australia (FFA) who form the official governing body for the sport.
Playing Futsal allows players to touch the ball nearly twelve times more than playing traditional outdoor soccer in half the amount of time. It is exciting, many goals are scored and the game is devoid of complex rules such as off-side. The video below gives a short overview of the game of Futsal.
