Winter Training
Overview
Forest Futsal’s Winter Training is Birmingham’s most comprehensive winter futsal program. Players receive instruction from experienced futsal coaches in practice and game environments. The program is open to players from all soccer clubs.
Training sessions are focused on strengthening the individual player. Players will become stronger soccer players and learn the sport of futsal, developing skills that translate to both sports.
Players select their training day/location and attend the same time and location each week. Players can add multiple training sessions per week if they desire.
U8-U16 players registered for one or more weekly training sessions are automatically eligible to play 3v3 and 5v5 futsal games on Saturdays at no extra cost.
Ages
Winter Training provides futsal training and playing opportunities for players ages U4-U16.
Schedule
