What are the rules of Futsal?

Click here to visit our rules page.

How do I know what division is best for my team?

Generally, Division A is the top division and is best for veteran, skilled Futsal teams or new teams that want to be challenged against the very best. The coaches who participate in our program are focused on development, so we don't see scores being run up in any divisions. We have a great group of coaches and teams who play hard but in a sporting manner. If you're entered in a division that just doesn't fit, we will do everything possible to sort things out for your team.

We want to play a certain day but not in a certain division. What should we do?

Sign up for the day that works best for you, and let us know that the choice of day usurps your choice of division. We'll get your team matched with the best division and opponents as possible. We have a lot of flexibility with our initial scheduling and division alignments.

I don't know anything about Futsal, but I am signed up to be a Futsal coach! What should I do?

Don't worry!  We're here to help.  Futsal itself is the best trainer, so foremost just get your players signed up and playing! Make sure you -- and your team -- know the rules. You're always welcome to watch other Futsal matches and we'd be happy to recommend teams and coaches that are experienced and good at coaching Futsal. We can also arrange a training session with one of our professional coaches to help get you going with the greatest winter training option -- Futsal!

Do you offer any price discounts?

We offer discounts to programs that register multiple teams together, and to larger teams that split into two sibling teams. You can find the full list of discounts here.

What equipment is needed for Futsal?

All players must wear shirts with numbers, shorts (no pants), shin guards covered by socks, and indoor Futsal shoes . All teams must also buy a League Futsal Ball upon registration.

Teams wishing to purchase additional balls may do so.  If you'd like to purchase a large quantity of balls, please contact us and we'll be happy to help. We do sell Futsal balls, Indoor Futsal  shoes, shin guards, socks, goalkeeper equipment and other items in our Brookline facility and via our online store at reduced rates for our program participants.

Are soccer balls allowed in your facilities?

No! For safety reasons, no soccer balls are allowed in our facilities.  Please leave soccer balls at home or in your vehicle. The opportunity for players to get injured rises substantially when a soccer ball is brought into our facilities. If you see someone -- on your team or an opposing team -- with a soccer ball, please help by informing of this policy.

What kind of shoes are allowed or not allowed?

Players must wear indoor or Futsal shoes that do not mark the floors of our facilities. No cleats, Studded turf shoes, nor sneakers of any kind are allowed.

We also request that during wet weather players change their footwear inside our lobby. A tiny bit of water, snow, sand or salt tracked into the court areas can cause significant delay and risk of injury.

I see a photo I would like a higher resolution copy of. Can I get one?

Absolutely! Send us a note and we'd be happy to help.

Do you offer any refreshments at your facilities?

We offer a full service concessions table at our Brookline facility that offers water, Gatorade, sports and energy bars, bananas, granola bars, cookies, chips, candy and an assortment of other items. On some occasions we also offer hot dogs and homemade baked goods. A smaller concessions booth will be in service at our Concord facility this winter as well.

Why is Concord only available for a small amount of time?

Due to the many demands on the facility, we are only able to reserve a partial day's worth of hours there.  We hope that as our program continues to grow we may be able to increase those hours and offer a full day in Concord. Until then we will do our best to schedule desiring teams some games in Concord, though Brookline will continue to remain our hub.

Is Futsal worth the drive to Brookline?

It absolutely is! Most definitely! We have teams and players coming from as far as Concord, Carlisle, Sudbury, Marlborough, Westborough, Framingham, Natick, Billerica, Winchester, Norwood, Rehoboth, Norton and Tiverton, RI to take advantage of our Futsal programs. There is simply no better winter soccer option; and no program is more professional or more dedicated to your success and enjoyment than InSoccer - MA Futsal. It's not a bad drive on a weekend, anyway! Give it a try and we promise you'll agree that it's more than worth the drive!

How do I sign my team up for your league?

Go to the Appropriate session and register your team.

Can individual players sign up for leagues, too?

Yes. Interested individuals should first try to get their whole team to play! But if that's not possible, they should fill out free agent registration forms and we will do our best to match them with available teams.

How many players are on a 5v5 Futsal team roster?

Team fees are for 10 roster spots.  Teams may elect to carry 12 rostered players, but the 11th and 12th players cost an additional $25 each for insurance purposes.

Are split/sibling teams allowed to move players?

Split teams can swing up to three players from one team to the other for any game, so long as the number of active players is not greater than 12.

What insurance do you have?

Great question!  See the box at the bottom of this page for more information on our insurance.
