Futsal Geelong, City of Greater Geelong (CoGG) and the Football Federation Victoria (FFV) are pleased to announce the return of the Summer Futsal League (SFL) across both BVAC and Leisuretime Centre. 

All Futsal Geelong competitions and programs are managed by the City of Greater Geelong (CoGG) and are affiliated with Football Federation Victoria (FFV) and Football Federation Australia (FFA).

The 2016-17 SFL was a record breaking affair which saw 250+ teams and 1500+ registered players playing futsal across the two venues. With the installation of court markings on the court 3 (green court) at BVAC and the increased court availability at Leisuretime Centre, Futsal Geelong are endeavouring to grow even larger in the 2017-18 Summer Futsal League.

Futsal in Geelong has quickly grown to one of the largest futsal leagues in Australia; helping to uncover and produce some great football/futsal talent - while bringing the greater community together.

The 2017-18 Summer Futsal League will again take place at the Barwon Valley Activity Centre (BVAC) in Belmont and the Leisuretime Centre in Bell Post Hill, both offering a range of junior and senior programs and competitions for all genders and abilities. Futsal Geelong takes pride in being able to offer programs for beginner, social, experienced and elite players.

The Leisuretime Centre will again be offering the popular Schools Futsal/Five-a-Side League which endured a successful pilot program last summer. This is the perfect opportunity for new players to the round ball game to get involved.
