Bristol Futsal League

Futsal is UEFA’s official version of 5 a side football. The game originated in South America and has been a platform for some of the most skilful players in the world to learn and develop their talent. The game was created to reduce the unnecessary physical contact in today’s game and encourage close control, skill and pace allowing creative players to flourish.

Futsal is the only five-a-side game where you can represent England at International level plus there is a Futsal World Cup and European Championships for successful teams. FIFA created the laws to simulate an attacking, continuous and high-tempo game. The exciting version of the small sided game can be played at:

Venue:    Hanham High School

              Abbeywood Community School

When:    Hanham - Wednesday Evening

              Abbeywood - Tuesday Evening (Men)

                               - Thursday Evening (Women)

About the Bristol futsal league:

Players will experience 40 minutes of none stop action. The goals are square which creates an inviting target for players to score spectacular goals. The futsal ball has 30% reduced bounce encouraging the games to be played on the ground, promoting more technical, fast paced and creative style of play. The game has a 5 foul limit, on the 6th foul the opposition is rewarded a 10m penalty, which encourages teams to stand and not dive into tackles. The foul count law reduces the risk of injury.

For further information: www.BristolFutsal.com

This is a GFA affiliated league.

Goalkeeping Sessions

Just4Keepers runs specialized weekly Goalkeeper training sessions throughout the South West for boys and girls aged six and upwards. Weekly training is designed to meet Goalkeepers’ individual needs to help them become the best keeper that they can be.

Training is in a FUN environment…with NO PRESSURE on the goalkeepers!

Coaching is taken by James Cope. James played for the Bristol City Football Club Academy and then youth team for 8 years, during which time he played over 200 games. At Bristol City James was trained by the best coaches including the first team Goalkeeper Coach. James has an FA Level 2 Coaching Certificate, the FA Age Appropriate Certificate, and a university degree in Sports Coaching. James coaches at a number of schools in Bristol and North Somerset and at the Bristol City Junior Academy. All the goalkeeping exercises and techniques that James teaches were learnt from 8 years valuable experience at a top professional club.

There are many techniques that keepers will develop through J4K to help them perform… to name but a few:

· Handling
· Diving (Which covers, taking off, landing, get up quicker etc)
· Footwork
· Distribution
· Shot Stopping
· Angles
· Kicking
· Positional play (where to stand for corners etc)
· How to blame your defenders before they blame you..!
· Plus countless other techniques that will not only benefit the keeper…but also the keeper’s team!

Whether goalkeepers come to Just4Keepers for fun and to learn, or they are more serious about their keeping…there is something for everyone.

The atmosphere is very relaxed, so keepers can express themselves and J4K will be as bold to say that we guarantee that your child/keeper will develop into a very capable goalkeeper!

For the keepers who are serious about being professional, not only will you get the chance to train just like a professional goalkeeper, you will get advice, help, support, contacts and the backing of someone who has achieved what you personally are trying to do!

Call James Cope now on 07967122743 or 01275 845693 for more information and to arrange your FREE lesson.

Fees are from £23 per month (whether there are four or five weeks). This works out at just over £5.50 per session.
