Covid-19 Program Modifications

For the 2020-21 season, there will be strict Covid-19 precautions in place.  These include:

• All players and coaches must wear a mask at ALL TIMES including training/games
• No spectators permitted in KCU Fit
• Limited occupancy of 22-25 people on average (per CDC & USSF calculations)
• Specific drop-off/pick-up protocols will be in place (see links below)
• Additonal cleaning procedures between sessions

We understand that these restrictions are not ideal, but these will be the requirements in order for us to offer indoor programming this winter.  Please consider these requirements prior to registration. 

Players will register as individuals via Demosphere, and they will be assigned a team by our coaching staff.  This applies to LUFC players but is also available to non-LUFC players as well. 

Due to the spectator restrictions, Lakeshore United FC will be adding Live Barn capabilities to our KCU Fit Center.  Live Barn will offer live streaming and replays of all our futsal games this winter for $15/month.  This equipment is being installed throughout December and additional details will be provided prior our first games in January 2021.

Futsal

Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided soccer game that is played across the world and is officially recognized by both FIFA and UEFA.   

Futsal earned the status of FIFA’s official form of indoor soccer in the 1980s as it was recognized as a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors.  It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, low bounce ball.  Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls. 

Futsal places a large emphasis on technical skill in high pressure situations which can be translated into the outdoor game.  The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking and pin-point passing.

Futsal is played in all the continents of the world by over 100 countries with 12 million players.  Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.

Why Futsal?

The top priority of Futsal is to motivate players in an environment that is conducive to learning. The more pleasure kids derive from their participation, the more they wish to play and practice on their own. While their instinct to play is natural, their affection and appreciation for soccer must be cultivated. Futsal is the foundation to such goals because it:

• Allows players to frequently touch the ball.


• Presents many opportunities to score goals and score goals often.


• Encourages regaining possession of the ball as a productive, fun and rewarding part of the game (defending).


• Maximizes active participation and minimizes inactivity and boredom.


• Reflects the philosophy of player development expressed in state and national coaching schools.


• Eliminates complicated rules such as off-sides that may hinder youngsters from "playing".

Leagues will look to match skill rather than just age and gender, allowing for skill level matched competition for all players.
