The Format
What is Futsal?
5v5 on a Hard Court
Played on a smaller, hard-surface court with a low-bounce ball — emphasizing close control, quick decisions, and technical skill.
FIFA-Recognized Format
Futsal is the official FIFA indoor game. It's the development path credited by many of the world's top players for building their technical foundations.
All Age Groups
Open to all age groups — from U8 through high school — with age-appropriate rules and court sizes.
Open Registration
Anyone can put together a team and enter — you don't need to be part of a club. Gather your players, register, and play.
Centralized Venues
Games hosted at indoor facilities across the metro, minimizing travel and maximizing court time.
Tournament Format
Group stage play followed by knockout rounds. Every team gets multiple games, and the best advance to compete for the title.
Why Futsal?
Benefits for Player Development
More Touches
Players get significantly more touches per minute than in outdoor soccer, accelerating technical growth.
Decision Speed
The smaller court and faster pace force players to read the game and make decisions under pressure.
Stay Sharp All Winter
Keep players engaged and developing through Minnesota's long winter instead of waiting for spring.
