Pathways to success through school futsal.

Now in its 18th year, NNSW Futsal delivers regional school tournaments that give students more games, more touches and more opportunities to progress in futsal.

School Futsal across Northern NSW

Every year, the NNSW Futsal Association runs regional school tournaments to promote our game, and more primary and secondary schools enter the competition each year.

School Futsal has become popular as it doesn't matter how big or small your school is; you can make the team.

Unlike outdoor school soccer competitions, where you play only one game if you lose, futsal has multiple games and pathways for you and your school. Our pathways include the state championships, where the top two teams from our 4 local regions progress.

We also have an East Coast Champions of Champions that schools can progress to, and a National School Futsal tournament where NNSW Futsal selects the best players from all schools to compete with schools from across Australia. Over 300 schools were involved in last year's event.

With over 4000 people already playing Futsal in the areas chances are someone at your school already knows what Futsal is all about. For more information, please visit our website www.northernnswfutsal.com.au.

Community comps

Play in a competition near you.

Choose your local centre for community competition details, enquiries and fixtures.

Entering a team

Community competitions are primarily designed for whole-team entries. Once your team is registered, the team organiser will receive a link to share with each player so they can join the team.

Registering as an individual

If you do not have a team, you can register your interest as an individual. Our competition managers may be able to connect you with an existing team, but placement depends on available spaces and cannot be guaranteed.

Register your interest as an individual

Representative players

Representative players are welcome to join community competitions with their non-representative friends.

If most or all players in a team compete at representative level, please choose a competition suited to the team’s ability. This may mean entering an older age group where appropriate or contacting the venue manager for advice before registering.
