Our sport and work-skills Futsal BTEC was the first study programme of it’s kind in the UK to include Futsal as an enrichment tool, and also includes the world’s first dedicated Futsal coaching syllabus. Since creating and launching the programme, nobody has continually invested more in it’s development than @Futsal Group.

The courses are delivered using @Futsal’s specially created online Virtual Learning Resource, which is called Inspire. This allows you to work remotely from electronic devices, and is a pioneering and innovative learning platform. Your assignments are marked and assessed online for instant feedback, and the platform also includes loads of helpful media content such as quizzes. So get away from conventional books and paper and enjoy learning by stepping into our 21st century learning portal.

The NCA Futsal Super League is a Futsal games programme delivered by @Futsal Group and featuring all of the participating Colleges and Academies. It is an official partner league of the English Colleges FA. Regular match-days take place in @Futsal’s state-of-the-art arenas in Swindon, Leeds and Birmingham, with national Grand Finals at the end of the season.

All clubs and players will have access to an online management portal which includes fixtures, results, standings and statistics. Match highlights and interviews will be broadcast on NCA Futsal TV, and the programme will also have a strong social media presence.

We’ve enjoyed some fantastic success stories from the thousands of scholars that have graduated from one of our Futsal Academies. One of the things that we pride ourselves on is creating as many different career progression pathways as possible, and in Georgia, Alfie and Tom we have three shining examples.
Where will your Futsal Academy journey take you…?

“If it wasn’t for the education and futsal scholarship, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I have such a passion for football and futsal, so being able to work at Reading football club now is a real privilege and that dream came true because I joined the Futsal Scholarship Programme.”

“The course is very enjoyable and informative. It gives you an insight of what it’s like to be a footballer, representing a professional football club! The playing side has a very positive impact on your 11-a-side performance as well as your Futsal ability. Not to mention I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to play Futsal for England!”

“For me it was the ideal route to university as you learn a lot about the sports industry as a whole, whilst competing against other clubs at Futsal and football.”
