It has without doubt been a fantastic 2017 for Carlisle Futsal Club. In this article Chairman Al Tindall reviews the Clubs performance across our 3 operational areas of coach development, player recruitment and competition and also looks ahead to 2018.OverviewOur slow organic growth strategy has meant that the pressure on everyone involved with running the Club has been much less than what it was when we were competing with a mens team in the FA National Futsal league back in 2015. Without the pressure to fund a men’s team we have been able to do so much more than we could have done had we still been competing at senior level.

Jon Reay is current head coach for our u11 academy squads Jon joined the Club only a few months after it formed in 2012 and has been involved ever since. He captained the men's senior team in the FA Futsal Super League and has played a huge part getting the Club to where it is today. His passion for Futsal and excellent coaching skills make him an invaluable member of the team. Jon will be part of the team travelling to Barcelona for the World Futsal Cup in December, here he shares his thoughts on the trip.

Club Chairman Al Tindall speaks to carlislefutsal.com on the coming season and our thriving squads.The great work of our coaching team continues to enhance our reputation locally. We have seen a flurry of interest from people wanting to join the Club which is evidence that we are doing things right and making a positive contribution to our community. I'm really delighted with where we are at the moment.This year we will compete in the AFL league competition. This is a national competition for our u8, u10, u12 and u14 squads who will play Manchester, Durham and York Futsal Clubs in the North Division. Our squads are in great shape and our strategy of slow growth is really paying off. We plan to give as many players as possible playing time in this competition to aid their development. Here is a quick review of the squads.

Darren Gaffney head coach for our u8 academy squad shares his thoughts on why he chooses to coach Futsal and not Football.  When people hear the word ‘Futsal’ its fair to say you would not normally think “England” as the first country to enter your mind. Perhaps the gut reaction might be “Brazil”, “Spain”, “Argentina” etc...
