UD SUMMER : FUTSAL UPDATE

FUTSAL HIGHLIGHTS

As we approach the end of our Futsal Season in early July, we wanted to share a quick update on how our Foundation and Development sessions progressed throughout June.

Over the past month, both programmes have shifted focus toward creating match-realistic scenarios. Each session has been carefully planned to mirror real-game situations, allowing players to think, react, and make decisions under match conditions. This approach is helping our players build confidence and improve their understanding of the game in a competitive context. Making our players always ready for any match situation. By simulating game scenarios and delivering drills at match tempo, our players are not only developing faster but also becoming more composed and intelligent in their play. These experiences are proving invaluable as they prepare for real matches.

It's also important to highlight that everything our players are learning through Futsal directly supports their development in football – whether that's 7-a-side or 11-a-side. We've constantly seen that players who engage in both Futsal and Football gain a clear advantage. Their technical skills, speed of thought, and overall game awareness improve significantly. 

We’re incredibly proud of how our Futsal players are progressing. Week in and week out, they show great enthusiasm and commitment, and it’s been fantastic to see such high attendance and passion for the game. This only reinforces how important Futsal is to our UD Community, and we’re excited about what lies ahead for this programme in the new season.

Foundation Programme

April marked the start of our Summer Term, the final term of the season and we’ve hit the ground running! It’s an exciting time as we begin to see just how much our players have learned and developed throughout the year in both the Foundation and Development programmes.

This term is all about applying everything they've worked on so far and taking things to the next level. Our focus is not only on continuing technical growth but also on challenging the players in new ways encouraging quicker decisions, deeper understanding of the game, and more advanced tactical play.

We’ve already seen promising signs in the start of the term, with players showing real confidence on the ball, better movement off the ball, and sharper awareness during game scenarios. Whether it’s breaking pressure, using space more effectively, or defending as a unit, the progress has been brilliant to watch.

As always, the journey continues with new challenges ahead, fresh learning moments, and more futsal fun still to come. Let’s make this final term of the year our best one yet!

Development Programme

April marked the beginning of our Summer Term, the final term of the season and our Development Programme has picked up right where it left off, with intensity, focus, and a real hunger to improve.

This term is all about putting previous learning into action. With players now more confident and technically capable, we’re introducing new challenges designed to deepen their understanding of the game and push them to the next level.

In term, we'll focused on:

• Creating overloads in different areas of the court

• Improving decision-making under pressure

• Speeding up transitions between attack and defence

• And continuing to develop structured team play

The group has responded brilliantly in the previous term, showing maturity, sharper awareness, and better communication. It’s been clear that the work from earlier terms has paid off.

With the final term now underway, we’re excited to see how far this group can go. The goal is not just improvement but mastery. Let’s keep raising the bar!
