Wellesley United

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Wellesley United Futsal Academy — a high-energy indoor clinic program designed to help players develop technical skill, quick decision-making, and confidence on the ball throughout the winter months. This is for players interested in learning the game of futsal and working on their technical skills during the winter months in a clinic format.

This winter’s model combines two exciting player pathways — Futsal Firsts and Futsal Futures — plus a dedicated Goalkeeper Clinic, all blending coach-led instruction with structured, competitive gameplay.

What Is Futsal?

Futsal is a fast-paced, 5-a-side version of soccer played indoors on a smaller, hard court surface. Officially recognized by FIFA, it’s used worldwide to sharpen young players’ technique and creativity.

Futsal helps players:
- Get more touches on the ball in every session
- Improve foot skills and first touch with a smaller, less-bouncy ball
- Gain confidence in tight spaces and make quicker decisions
- Develop creativity and composure under pressure
