Sporting Schools Funding

Schools can apply for funding for futsal through the Sporting Schools program and we can help provide qualified coaches to deliver futsal coaching to support schools in the School Futsal Championships.

The Football Australia Futsal program is designed to introduce the core basic skills and match play of futsal to children from Kindergarten to Year 8 with an emphasis on fun-learning and active participation. Futsal programs can be delivered in a variety of both indoor and outdoor settings, indoor gymnasiums, outdoor basketball courts, multi-sport courts. We can make small spaces work!

Our goal is to help every child discover a lifelong love of futsal in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment.

Sporting Schools funding for Term 2, 2026 is open, and we’d love for you to be part of the action. Applications close Friday 6th March (5pm AEST).
