OUR COMMITMENT

As a sport, Football Federation Australia (FFA) values inclusion, fairness, excellence and fun.  These values apply across all levels of the game – from junior clubs through to the elite levels of the sport.

Football-Connect Futsal Fives SUMMER LEAGUE  

NEW PROGRAM-COMING THIS OCTOBER.......
 

 

After a successful inaugural Football-Connect season which has seen 42 players compete in five teams across ten fantastic weeks Capital Football invites you to join our newest Initiative.

 

"Football-Connect Futsal Fives" will introduce everyone to indoor soccer in a fun, fast paced and friendly environment. Futsal Fives is open to players of all abilities and requires no previous experience.

 

The futsal league will take place at the MPowerdome in Fadden on Sunday evenings throughout October and November. Each week teams will play a 30 minute game against another football-connect registered team.

 

This is a great chance for all players to experience another format of football and practice for Season 2 of Football Connect set to commence in 2011. It is also a great opportunity for our more senior players to get in some practice before selections for the AWD futsal nationals ACT team.
