What is Futsal Foundations?
Futsal Foundations is a program on the LTPD development ages from U8- U12 and encompasses:

Futsal Foundation Festivals
The TSA will host 5 weekend events through the 2016-17 indoor season and based out of the La Liga Futsal facility in Toronto!
This facility has 3 brand new futsal courts

change rooms for competing teams,
and an upstairs viewing lounge for spectators!

The Festivals will be played in both genders at the following age levels:

• U8
• U10
• U12

Of course, U9 and U11 players can also participate as part of the open roster concept permitted at these ages!
The confirmed weekends of play are as follows:

• November 12/13
• January 14/15
• February 11/12
• March 4/5
• April 8/9

Each team will play two (2 x 25 minute) games at each Futsal Foundation Festival, and the schedule can be set so as to accommodate teams committed in other Leagues, and teams can register to play on whatever weekends fit their schedule! Play one or Play Them All!
Futsal Foundations Registration
The cost to participate in each Futsal Foundation Festival is $150/ team (2 games), and this fee includes the opportunity to attend the Pre-Season Coach Education event free of charge!
Registration Information
This form should be used to register all interested teams:
2016 Futsal Foundations Team Registration Form
The following information needs to be understood:

1. While teams can complete the form and pay the fee to the TSA, the form MUST be signed by the Club Administrator to ensure they have your approval to participate.
2. Once paid, the team registration fee is 100% non-refundable. This is to discourage last minute withdrawals which cause havoc with scheduling.
3. All coaches must have full age related certification and processed coaches books.
4. We will make an announcement about player books within 7 days.
5. Each entered team can carry a total of 20 players BUT only a maximum of 10 can participate on game day.
6. The large squad size is to encourage club participation with the smaller game day roster to promote adequate playing time.
7. Space in each Festival is limited so early registration is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
8. Additionally, registration for each festival closes 2 weeks prior (again subject to availability)

Registration is now open!
