SUMMER SEASON
(October - March) Seniors and Juniors The peak futsal season is opposite to the football (soccer) season and is held in the summer months between October to March (with a short break over Christmas). During this time we run local in-house competitions at the Hills District PCYC, Arana Hills for juniors and seniors. Players are encouraged to form their own teams with their friends (8 players is an ideal number) and then register their team into the respective age group competition. Team nominations open in late August and close when all available team spots are filled. Individual players who do not have a team to join can register their interest via the 'find me a team' link and we will do our best to find a suitable team for you. Our in-house summer competitions are broken up into the following categories: Competitions u8-10yrs, u11/12yrs, u13/14yrs & u15-17yrs and Social Seniors (mixed). Players play for a set team and compete against other teams in a structured competition. Junior competitions are mixed gender (boys and girls). All games are played at the Hills District PCYC on a set day of the week. Teams are awarded competition points with the top teams in each age group progressing to finals. Representative futsal Selection trials are held in August to select players for our SEQ Futsal Premier League teams. Our rep teams also compete in the FQ State Futsal Titles at Easter. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MANY PLAYERS in each TEAM?
8 players is an ideal number for a team. This will give you 3 substitute players if everyone turns up (five players take the court). However players are often away for one reason or another so this will ensure you will always have enough players. Team nominations with less than 7 players won't be accepted to avoid unnecessary forfeits due to teams having not enough players.
ARE GAMES ALL PLAYEd AT THE SAME VENUE?
Yes. All games are played at the same venue each week. All local (in-house) competitions are held at the Hills District PCYC, 135A Olearia Street West, Everton Hills (Arana Hills, North Brisbane, Qld). The SEQ Futsal Premier League is a separate elite league played at external venues. See the SEQ Futsal Premier League link for more info.

can we borrow players if we are short?
All players must be fully registered for insurance purposes. Any team caught using a non-registered 'ring-in' player will have game points deducted. All player names are entered into the computer to confirm registration status. You CAN borrow another registered player from another team. You must have at least 3 of your own players before you can borrow others. You can only borrow enough players to make up a team of 5 (you cannot borrow additional substitutes).
Is there team training?
No. It is up to teams to arrange their own training, but only if they want to - there is no requirement. Most teams are happy to just come and play their weekly game. We do not provide training for in-house club teams as we don't have the resources or court space. If you want to organise your own training you will need to source out a venue as the PCYC is generally full with other sports on other days. We do run training for our representative teams who play in the SEQ Futsal Premier League but this is only for the players who have been selected into these teams following trials.
When do team nominations open and close?
Team nominations are for the 2019/20 summer season are CLOSED.
Can we pay match fees on a weekly basis?
No. Each player pays their season registration fees up front and these include the match fees for the entire season.

does our team need a coach?
No. You just need a team manager to ensure match sheets are submitted each game and to organise substitutions. Players will learn by playing the game - there is no need to have a coach yelling instructions at them. Just let them play! Parents - take a chill pill, sit back and enjoy watching the game. It's ok to clap and cheer, it's not ok to yell at the players and abuse referees.
HOW OLD DO PLAYERS HAVE TO BE FOR EACH AGE GROUP?
Junior age groups go up in two year increments i.e 8/9/10yrs, 11/12yrs, 13/14yrs, 15/16/17yrs and Mixed Seniors.
We often get the question: 'We have a team of 12yr olds and one 13yr old. Can the 13yr old play in u12s with his friends?'
The general answer is 'no'. Players generally cannot play down an age group.
However exemptions may be given in certain cases. i.e an older female player may be allowed to play with a younger team of mainly boys, or a beginner level player may be allowed to play in a younger team with his friends. If the older player is superior in physical size and skill level then they will have to join a team in their own age group.
We also get asked the question, 'We have a team of half 10yr olds and half 11yr olds. What age group do they play in?'
They should play in the u12yrs age group as the 11yr olds can't play in the lower age group with the 9 and 10yr olds.
You are best to try to form teams that align with our age groups.
