Played in the Bay Area's finest futsal facility, the Burlingamer, BSC Winter Futsal Academy League will provide all participating players an opportunity to improve their soccer skills while playing a fast-paced FUN game of futsal with their BSC friends! This is an in-house league, available only to the BSC members.

If you're not familiar with futsal, it is very similar to soccer. It's an exciting, fast-paced, indoor game played with a slightly heavier ball. Besides being a lot of fun, there are many benefits to futsal, e.g., it improves the team and individual tactical understanding of the game, it helps develop one v one skills and quick reflexes because of its fast pace, and it promotes close ball control. Because of these benefits plus many more, US Soccer recommends futsal as a part of player development.
