Welcome!
Never heard of futsal? Imagine football, but indoors, quicker, and way more social. It’s played 5-a-side on a smaller court, which means everyone gets more touches and more chances to play. The matches are shorter and full of energy, so you’re always moving and always involved. Best of all, you don’t have to stand in the cold or worry about muddy tackles.
Futsal is perfect for meeting new people, keeping fit, and learning new skills, all in a fun and supportive environment.
Our committee:
President - Ellie Desborough
Captain - Sekwila Mwandwe
Wellbeing Officer - Ciana Reape
Weekly training: Tuesdays from 17:00 - 18:30 at the CCCU Sports Centre
Competitive matches: BUCS league games on Saturdays
Every Wednesday, we team up with our sister club, Women’s Football, for a big social. Expect fun games, themed nights, and plenty of laughs! And don’t worry – there’s no pressure to drink. Whether you’re up for a night out or just want to hang out and get to know people, everyone’s welcome.
Got questions or want to get involved? We’d love to hear from you! Drop us an email or send us a DM on Instagram – and we’ll get back to you. Everyone’s welcome, and we can’t wait to have you as part of our team this year!
