Futsal Club Season 2023/ 24

Our Spartans have reflected on a fantastic round of Futsal after the 2023/24 Club season recently came to an end.

Under 6 and Under 7

Our Preps and Year 1s made their first kicks of Futsal in our own in-house Futsal programme. Students had weekly training on Mondays and Thursday during Term Four. Matches took place on Saturday mornings. Each week we made new teams to challenge each other.

Under 8 to Under 14

Our Under 8 to Under 14 participated in the Carrara Futsal League. All matches took place on Wednesday nights at the Sports and Leisure Centre. We entered the league with a total of 13 teams. 2 female teams and 11 male teams.

Somerset represented the Carrara league as followed:

• 3 teams in the Under 8
• 3 teams in the under 9
• 2 teams in the under 10
• 4 teams in the under 11
• 1 team in the under 14

The teams were placed in a group with six to 10 teams and played a total of 14 matches between October and February. We had a Christmas break from half December till the end of January, however, our coaches kept providing training during the school holidays. It is great to see so many students at Somerset during the break.

Our Head of Football and Futsal is satisfied with the performance from all the Spartans. With a total of 120 students playing futsal club, we had more teams than in previous years. The skill level from all students have increased massively over the last months.

Team Achievements

• Under 8: 4th place in the league and semi-finalist
• Under 9: League winner and grand-final winner
• Under 10: 3rd in the league and semi-finalist
• Under 11: League winner and grand-final runner up
• Under 14: League winner and grand-final winner

We celebrated our Futsal Club season with our annual presentation day. Everybody had a great day with all students receiving their team photo and club medal.

Our Spartans are currently back on the Football pitch for a new Football Club season. We hope to see everyone again at the end of this year for a new Futsal Season.
