From September through April we offer Futsal. Futsal encourages players to be creative and think outside of the box. The futsal court is smaller and allows players to have more touches on the ball, this allows them to try things they never would in a 11 v 11 game. Modern successful teams play a game with in a game with their short passes and player rotations; that game is futsal. A futsal player will have 600% more touches on a ball in a 40 minute game then a player in 11 v 11 90 minute game, This helps players master their touch on the ball and gives them more confidence to hold the ball and take players 1 v 1. Futsal play is quick and makes players think quicker. Players must move and create space helping them get out of high pressure moments. Our futsal gives players and opportunity to play in a fun, but competitive league to challenge themselves. 

​

Our coaches have over 30 years coaching, playing and refereeing at high levels. Our commitment to build back into our community stands out and has our players help as "mini assistant coaches" building into the future of futsal and soccer in the Slave Lake area. 

We are striving to build a soccer community that gives back and grows together. When we started in 2022 we had one team of 18 players, in 2023 we grew to 22 players on one travel team, and ran outdoor for the community of Slave Lake with over 100 players registered. In the spring of 2024 we had four travel teams of over 55 players, and over 200 players registered in our community programs. Our coaches are thoroughly trained and work hard to make sure each player is developed to the best of their ability.
