Primary Sport Wellington (PSW) in partnership with Capital Football is pleased to advise that the Futsal Festivals will return to the Ākau Tangi Sports Centre, Kilbirnie in September 2023.

Amesbury are calling on all football fanatics to register now to represent our kura in a mixed gender team.

Primary Sport Wellington is very pleased to advise that for the 2023 Futsal Festivals there is no charge for teams to participate, thanks to a successful funding application and the generosity of the New Zealand Community Trust.

Festival Design

• The festivals are designed for players of ALL abilities and genders to try Futsal in a safe and enjoyable environment.

• Teams are formed for the players enjoyment with a focus on development over winning.

• Scores will not be kept and there are no play-offs or finals to play for.

• Years 1 – 6 Futsal Festivals are mixed teams.

• Schools may enter as many teams as they can organise and supervise. At least one adult manager per team is required to assist with the supervision and behaviour of the students throughout the day.
