Futsal is a fast-paced indoor sport, a variant of soccer, that is played on a smaller indoor court with teams consisting of five players each. The game focuses on skillful footwork, quick decision-making, and precise ball control. With smaller goals and a smaller low-bounce ball, futsal demands high levels of technical ability and agility. Played across the globe, futsal provides a thrilling and intense experience for both players and spectators alike.
The Portland Futsal League is a collaboration between local community members, soccer clubs, and schools. The league was created in 2018 following discussions between community members who set out to create an inclusive, accessible, competitive, and affordable program that would assist in the development of young soccer players in our city.
Our mission is to expand the futsal footprint in Portland, Maine. Our programming is a blend of weekly foot skills sessions and competitive futsal league play for players grades K-8, with the emphasis placed on skill development through maximization of touches on the ball.
