Futsal & street soccer are the best ways for young kids to express themselves as footballers.

The fact is, in my opinion, they shouldn't start club matches until they are 14 or 15 and should only play Futsal and Street Soccer until that age.

Hopefully the SSG [Small Sided Games] that the FFA are introducing will help to give the very young a good start in the game.

Not even close to a waste of time. One of the best ways to develop the technical skills and confidence of young footballers in my view.

We will be the only club in Australia that will be able to offer your child the complete (Soccer / Futsal / Beach Soccer) Brazilian Football Package.
No one offers the complete package for players to develop. We are about developing players to their full potential not winning trophies but also giving them the opportunity to trial overseas. Here in Australia we worry about winning not allowing players to be creative and to express themselves. We will neve compete with the rate we are going, need to change the culture, everybody now give your child a ball to play were ever they go. Natural ability is hard to be born with.

Adelaide Stingrays Futsal offer the Brazilian approach to teaching Futsal, bringing you all the characteristics of modern Futsal in a fun atmoshere. The rapid growth in number of children participating in Futsal has a huge demand and popularity in this country.

Our Junior Futsal programmes quickly develop skills required for soccer: - balance, motor ability, agility and co-ordination, ball mastery, accurate and quick passing and receiving, perception insight and awareness.

Children learn through repetition and practice in small areas this occurs naturally. As Futsal is fast and action packed, fitness is improved while learning and having fun. Futsal is the only FIFA approved five-a-side soccer game. It is played on a basketball style court, with no walls and a low bouncing ball, necessitating players to use their skills rather than the balls bounce to propel it.

Great soccer stars such as Pele, Ronaldinho, Maradona, Denilson, Zico and Ronaldo grew up playing the game and attribute Futsal with developing their silky skills. Futsal is played by an estimated 30 million players throughout the world is soon to be an Olympic sport.

Adelaide Stingrays Futsal to expand develop and promote the game of Futsal in South Australia, improving standards in all sectors of the game such as quality of play, facilities, administration and coaching, while increasing the number of participants in all sectors of the local community.

Our Futsal training focuses on developing superior ball skills, balance and spatial awareness - the attributes of the complete player. We believe that our program of Futsal training is unique. We know of no other program in South Australia offering the caliber of training provided by the Adelaide Stingrays Futsal training program.

We can assure that the Adelaide Stingrays Futsal training will improve the skills of each player, providing the foundation for future individual and team success in soccer. Our philosophy is that individual and team success in soccer is built upon a strong foundation of individual skills.

Come to our Stingrays Futsal/Soccer Boot Camp and experience the individualized instruction that is the hallmark of all Stingrays camps. We will be offering one or two day camps. Our clinics focus on developing individual skills, a crucial aspect of a player's development that often receives insufficient attention during normal team training sessions. We emphasize ball control skills that provide the player the ability and confidence to play at the higher levels.

Our camps provide the player a challenging environment, where he or she can develop their potential to the fullest. Each day consists of sessions designed on developing quickness, foot skills, shooting, trapping, finishing, and movement on and off the ball and full field scrimages. Developing skilled and confident players is our goal and we believe that Futsal is one of our most valuble tools. I would encourage each of you to come and see first hand what Futsal training is all about.

Anyone interested can contact 1300 FUTSAL for times and directions or email adelaidestingray@bigpond.com

Stingrays are still in the process of chatting to FFSA, hopefully it will be finalised soon.
