sport here we anticipate that Geelong Futsal will quickly establish a major Futsal competition for
the region.”

Tebb said “It is great to be able to give the city another avenue to play our great sport. After a
hard time for indoor sport due to covid, it is great to see such an appetite for the game”
Futsal is Football’s (soccer) equivilant of the Big Bash. There are less players, which means more
touches per player. The games are shorter and it is guaranteed to be full of goals, tricks and
entertainment. It is also played all year round and is indoors, away from the weather.

All competitions will be held at BVAC (Barwon Valley Activity Centre) and commence in term 2
with competitions for all ages and abilities from primary school to seniors.
