What is indoor soccer/winter futsal?

The BSC Indoor Soccer season is hosted at Bloomfield High School and provides our youth with an opportunity to grow and develop their skills in the Winter through small sided, fast paced matches in a climate controlled setting. 

Randomly assigned Co-Ed teams of 10 players will compete weekly and will close out with a round-robin tournament in the final week of the season.

The season is six weeks long and one additional week has been built into the schedule in the event of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstance.

The cost to participate is $75 per child. There are no refunds. Prorated credits will be issued in the event the season cannot continue or there is a global health issue which prevents us from entering the school. 

When are the indoor soccer Sessions?

The indoor season begins on January 8th and continues on until February 19th (February 26th added as make-up date only).

Kick-ins

• In order to re-start the game after the ball has gone out of play, the ball is kicked back into play from the touchline and from corners. The player must be placed stationary on the touchline and the feet of the player taking the kick-in must not cross the line.

• For kick-ins, free kicks and goal clearances and corner kicks, the player in possession of the ball has 4 seconds to restart play which the referee will count with fingers in the air. If play is not restarted within four seconds an indirect free kick will be awarded to the opposing team. The goalkeeper is not allowed to control the ball for more than 4 seconds in her own half.

Goalkeepers

• Goalkeepers are allowed to come out of the penalty area and players are allowed to go into the penalty area. A goal clearance must be thrown (and not kicked) and the goalkeeper cannot touch the ball again until it has crossed midfield or a member of the opposing team has touched the ball.
