SUFFIELD ACADEMY HOSTS 2015 FUTSAL CAMP JANUARY 4 THROUGH FEBRUARY 22.

Suffield, CT. Suffield Academy will host The 2015 Suffield Academy Futsal Camp every Sunday from January 4 through February 22 (except Sunday, February 1, 2015). A snow date is scheduled for March 1, 2015.

Boys and girls ages 8-15 are encouraged to register for the ten-week program. Younger children may be eligible based on skill. Cost is $150 per player or $140 per player with more than one sibling; team discounts are available.

Futsal is the official indoor sport sanctioned by FIFA and is recognized throughout the world for promoting exceptional skill development and decision-making. It is played on a hard surface with boundary lines and a low-bounce ball and is now the fastest-growing indoor sport in the United States and around the world. Futsal demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing. The small, heavier futsal ball requires players to hone their ball-striking and ball-handling technique. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills. The Suffield Academy Futsal Camp will teach the skills of the sport and incorporate the proper fundamentals while having fun. The skills will be taught through technical drills and games.
