What surface is the game played on?
Real futsal is played on a hard court surface similar to a basketball court.

Where will games be played?
Games will be held at the Greenhouse (Door #5) in Waterloo, featuring two futsal courts.

What kind of ball does futsal use?
A futsal ball is a reduced bounce or “low-bounce” ball. It is smaller than a normal soccer ball and slightly heavier. These properties are designed to build confidence and technique on a hard court surface. The low-bounce and weight to the ball helps to keep it on the floor and allows for more quality touches.

What kind of shoes should players wear?
Players should wear flat soled shoes (no cleats). Indoor soccer shoes are encouraged but tennis shoes work as well.

Do players need matching uniforms?
All teams must have uniforms matching in color.

My team isn’t associated with the Elkhorn Athletic Association/Nebraska Roots SC, can we participate in the NPFL?
Yes! Teams from any club are welcome to participate in the NPFL.

When will games be played?
All games will be played on weekends.

What happens if a game is canceled?
If a game is canceled due to weather we will make every effort to reschedule the canceled games.

How many players are allowed per team?
Futsal is played with 5 players (4 field players and 1 goalkeeper). Teams may roster up to 14 players per team.

How many games are played?
Each team is guaranteed at least six games.

Are you ready to elevate your game?

Our futsal program is designed to provide recreational players (Red Conference players and low level Blue Conference players) aged 11-14 and 15+ with the skills and confidence needed to dominate the spring season. Futsal, a fast-paced indoor variant of soccer, offers numerous benefits that can significantly enhance your abilities.

Why Futsal?

• Improved Technical Skills: Futsal’s smaller playing area and emphasis on ball control force players to develop exceptional dribbling, passing, and shooting techniques.
• Enhanced Tactical Awareness: The quick pace and constant decision-making required in futsal foster a deeper understanding of the game and improve tactical thinking.
• Increased Fitness: Futsal’s high-intensity nature provides an excellent workout, improving cardiovascular fitness, agility, and stamina.
• Confidence Boost: The smaller-sided games in futsal allow players to take more risks and develop self-assurance.

Program Structure

Our program combines focused practice sessions with competitive games to provide a well-rounded experience. Through drills and exercises, players will learn essential futsal skills and tactics. The games will allow them to apply their knowledge in a real-match environment and gain valuable experience.
