In this program we feature the Boomerangs FS, a genuine ACT Futsal Club that has spent the last year competing in the Football NSW Futsal Supa League. We speak to co-founder Kristian Collins on the season and challenges ahead and there are plenty.
The Boomerangs FS 2010 /11 season was an outstanding success and as a consequence, has been promoted to the prestigious, Premier League level, the most competitive Futsal environment in Australia. They have just held trials for the forthcoming season and have been swamped by the number of interested players. Boomerangs FS players are very well represented in the ACT Futsal Age Championship teams. It figures, they are playing top class Futsal week in week out. The players and parents know that if you want to improve in Futsal (and in so doing, improve your Football) and be more competitive at the Nationals, the Boomerangs FS is the place to be. The Boomerangs FS offer a top quality product to our players, their coaches must be qualified and experienced to be allowed to coach at the NSW Premier League level and most of them are ACT National coaches - and they do all this and keep the costs to a minimum.
Boomerangs FS will play their home games at the AIS training hall area and all games are played on an international size court. We'll let you know the draw as soon as it is confirmed. They games (mens / women, junior/youth/open) start about 12:15PM (usually Saturdays) and the last game finishes in the early evening. If you want to see top class Futsal, go to the home games. The game of Futsal is very different and a lot more interesting when played on the international size court.
The Boomerangs FS is the only serious development pathway for Futsal at the highest domestic level in the ACT. Nothing else comes close. Capital Football should talk to Boomerangs FS and have them be the Futsal development pathway (lets say Centre of Excellence) and have them run Futsal development for any other player that has a mind to improve their game. It could dovetail quiet nicely with the Football development solutions, just requires a bit of thought and talk.
Boomerangs FS is the perfect promotional vehicle for any corporate sponsor - so get in contact with them.
We will also cover the the 2011 Premier League Womens and Mens Grand Finals. Some terrific Football was played across the grades.
We then cover the appalling behavior by a section of the Canberra FC supporters at the Mens Premier League Grand Final. It was dreadful and Capital Football have given notice that they will pursue the individuals concerned, where they can identified. These miscreants will be given notice to appear before a Tribunal and if found guilty, you would think it more than likely that that they will be excluded from the game (in every respect) for a period of years. Enough time to reflect to their dangerous stupidity. Canberra FC seems unlikely to escape sanctions, after all, it was their supporters. They must be concerned for their desire to play in the NSW premier league competitions, after all, who wants a club with supporter problems. This story has only just begun and we will keep you posted.
