SCROLL
HVF Family
Hudson Valley Futsal was formed when like- minded parents from the Hudson Valley NY area sought development and competitive play for their children during Soccer’s off-season. Due to the action-packed practices and matches the kids quickly fell in love with the soccer variation. Parents also enjoyed watching their children but most importantly the players’ development was evident not only on the Futsal court but also on the larger Soccer Pitch.

What is futsal?
Futsal is FIFA's official indoor soccer game which is, essentially, a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a small sided game (5v5) played on a smaller field (roughly basketball court sized) with a smaller and heavier (size 3-4) ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries. There are no walls in play. This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play when they are indoors to refine and maintain their control skills and touch. The perfect combination of fast paced explosive action which makes it incredible to watch and even more importantly very fun to play. The word Futsal simply combines the spanish word for Hall, ‘Sala’ and the word Futbol.
