For players interested in playing indoor soccer this winter to develop their skills and have fun playing with their Northside AYSO teammates, we are offering indoor soccer programs at the Chicago Futsal Academy (CFA). We will be offering two programs this winter, that will run at different times.
Chicago Futsal Academy (CFA) - 6122 N. Clark Street, Chicago, 60660
1. Indoor Open Gym
The open gym program will run for 4 weeks on Sundays starting November 26th through Dec. 17th at the Chicago Futsal Academy (CFA). Each session will be an hour. Players will have a short warm up and then be divided up into two teams to play a friendly scrimmage. Players are expected to be capable to play a full game so it may not be a good fit for some of our younger players.
If you’re at all hesitant to register for the full winter training, come check out the CFA during the Open Gym sessions.
- Cost is $30 for all 4 weeks - a great deal even if you miss a week as typical drop in rates are $15 at the CFA

2. Winter Futsal Training
Our official winter training program will run on Sundays for 10 weeks starting on Jan. 8th through March 28, 2023. The training sessions provide a great opportunity for players to have fun with their Northside AYSO teammates and continue to develop their skills for the upcoming spring season. Each session will have a professional trainer running drills for 30 minutes and then the kids will break into teams to play a 30-minute scrimmage.
For those that are not familiar, futsal is a variation of soccer that is played indoors on a small field with a slightly heavier ball. It was a game developed in Brazil that has become adopted as the global indoor soccer game stressing quick passing and strong footwork skills.
While each session will have professional trainers to run drills instruct the players, we are asking for interested volunteers to be an assistant coach to help facilitate the training and running the scrimmages, so please volunteer along with registration if you're available (you need not commit every week, just help when you can).
