Infants & Toddlers
Our infant and toddler sessions are for any 2-4 year olds that are interested in getting involved in football. At the sessions, the children will do both individual and partner skills. During our sessions, we will have sections where we encourage parental participation but this is not essential. This will encourage and help parents to continue playing football with their children outside of FITC.
Our sessions will aim to teach the children the basic skills of football while providing them with a fun and safe environment to learn. We adopt a ‘learn through play’ attitude within these sessions.

Futsal
FITC Futsal is a great way to improve a player’s technical ability and speed of movement.
Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided football game that is widely played across the world and is officially recognised by both UEFA and FIFA.
The nature of the game places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure and is subsequently an excellent breeding ground for football competencies that can be translated into the 11-a-side format of the game.
Compared to Football, Futsal demands more versatile players. It’s normal for every player to play in every position on the field during the course of a game. Young players will also touch the ball many more times during a game of Futsal than they do in Football. They will pass more often, shoot more and score more goals. They will also practice their skills in far more 1v1 situations than they will experience in traditional football. Futsal also encourages young players to make quick decisions whilst under pressure and in tight spaces and have better spatial awareness.
