A friendly festival for Girls only. For those who enjoy school football but do not play for clubs outside of school. No club players!

Target audience: Y5/6 Girls only. This event is NOT for club players as this is an Inspire event, please consider this when selecting your team to ensure all participants have a positive experience.

Intent: Increase regular participation and motivation & Championing physical literacy

Rules:

Futsal is a 5/6 a-side fast paced game that develops skills and tactics. The game encourages teams to make more passes as well as think more tactfully.

Squad: 8 in squad, with 5/6 on the pitch at any one time (Y5/6 girls only)

Rules;

• Played to lines and play is restarted with a kick in (as opposed to throw in), corner or goalkeeper’s THROW (no goal kicks) - must be taken within 4 seconds.

• Goalkeepers can leave the area and players can enter the area.

• Goals can be scored from anywhere.

• Ball can be played over head height.

• 5 fouls (we may reduce this to 3 depending on length of the game) before a penalty is awarded.

• Fouls are the same as football

• The goalkeeper cannot receive the ball more than once from his team until it touches an opponent.

Additional information:

First Aid is the responsibility of each individual school. Please ensure that you are well equipped should your pupils require first aid.

Please bring bibs in case of a kit clash.

Please note: Spectators are no longer able to come into the sports hall area - they are allowed to stay in the cafe area but if your team is playing on the far side, they will not be able to spectate the games.

Please do not arrive before 9.45 as there may be community sessions prior to our event starting.
