November 11, 2025-Team and individual registration, training and pick-up games are important features of New York Futsal as it gets set for its new season this winter going from December 6 to March 8. Boys-Under-7 to High School Boys will be playing on Saturdays and Sundays.
Games will be played in two gyms at the PS 333 Manhattan School For Children, also known as the Joan of Arc School, as well as at the Tito Puente Education Complex, both in Uptown Manhattan.
Futsal is a great skill developer by enhancing ball control, pinpoint passing, dribbling, vision and running off the ball. Played 5 vs. 5, the goalkeepers get an intense workout too. Futsal’s increased popularity comes from players using these skills that they acquired in the indoor winter season when they return to playing outdoor soccer in March.
The league has been affiliated with the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) since its inception in 2010. Futsal every day of the week as games will be played on weekends and training with a UEFA coach around that, just taking a break for the holidays.
Longtime New York Futsal coach Jaime Arias is also back to help with the training sessions. The league is excited to give away entry to their summer camp to one lucky player. Referees are needed too for New York Futsal games this winter.
Remember that if your children are not playing in an ENYYSA-affiliated league or tournament, then they are not covered by our insurance, and chances are, they are not covered by any insurance. Always ask about the insurance coverage before registering your children or team. And unlike like most other indoor leagues, New York Futsal has certified refs and heat in the gymnasiums.
