WHAT IS FUTSAL? Futsal is a variant of soccer played on a smaller, fenced court, usually on a hard, low-maintenance surface. This fast-paced, freestyle soccer game is played by teams of five instead of the traditional 11-on-11.
Energy Assist Futsal Courts Various locations
Futsal courts have been popping up all over the metro as part of an initiative championed by Energy Assist Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the OKC Energy FC, in partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Fields & Futures, OG&E and 7-11. Organizers have opened 14 courts so far, many at Oklahoma City public middle schools, and there are plans to add 10 more. In addition to the courts, Energy Assist is organizing Soccer for Success programming, which will help students in Title 1 schools with equipment needs and character and skill building. Students can attend camps and play alongside OKC Energy players. Courts are open to the public. Hours vary by location.
