Promote as widely as possible to attractteams to participate in the event.
Once the organiserhas an idea o the number o
teams that they would like
to invite to take part in this
event, along with the dates,
venue(s) and costs or the
tournament or league, the
next step will be to promoteas widely as possible to
attract teams to participate.
There is a range o methods
that the organiser may wish
to use to promote the event,
such as producing posters
and flyers, using the
Internet, word o mouth
through riends and local
ootball clubs, etc. Futsal is
a new sport or most people
in England, and so the
promotion and marketing
stage is crucial to help
people understand what the
game is and to encourage
them to participate in theevent.
Once teams have been
recruited, the event
organiser needs to liaise
with the teams prior to the
event or prior to the start o
the league season, ensuring
that they have all the
PROMOTIONAnd
Communication
The FA Affiliation
inormation they need to
help them prepare properly.
Inormation such as: the
tournament rules, the ormat
and fixtures, the kit that they
will be expected to bring,
the location o the venue,
time o arrival, any costs andany registration orms. I it is
a league then the organiser
should ideally look to
contact the teams prior to
each match and ensure that
they are aware o their
match details.
The event organiser should contact the local County FA
prior to the tournament or league to discuss the need for
appropriately affiliating the event with them.

equipmentVenueand
The choice of venue is veryimportant to ensure asuccessful event.
This is especially
important when
accommodating a number
o teams. Futsal should be
played at an indoor sports
hall, preerably with a
wooden or rubber/synthetic
floor. Futsal should not be
played on grass and
where possible not on
artificial tur either. The
pitch should ideally have a
two metre run-of around
the perimeter o the pitch.
At a tournament,
depending on the age o
the participants that you
are catering or, you may
need to consider the
length o time that players
are not on court in
between games. Young
players may get restless i
there are long gaps
between their matches.
For similar reasons, it
would be beneficial to
have an area such as aca or the teams to wait
in between games,
particularly i there is not a
spectator viewing area.
The event organiser will
need to consider whether
the venue has the
necessary Futsal goals,
and i not then how these
will be obtained. It would
also be advantageous ithere was an electronic
scoreboard that could be
used or the matches, but
this is not essential.

RulesEventPrior to the event it is important to pay someconsideration to the rules that you intend tofollow during the league or tournament.
These need to be
finalised and circulated to
the teams and the reerees
beore the event or beore
the start o the season so
that all parties have time
to understand how the
tournament or league will
be played.
Where possible, stick to
the FIFA Futsal Laws o the
Game, but you may need
to modiy them in order tofit the specific
circumstances o your
event, particularly in a
one day Futsal tournament.
Common rule changes or a one daytournament or estival are:
Match Duration: requently the games areshortened and played on a non-stopping
clock in order to fit all games into theallotted schedule.
Timeouts: in order to keep games runningto time then requently timeouts are either
reduced (one per team or entire game) or
removed entirely.
Accumulated Fouls: i the duration o the
game has been reduced then the number oaccumulated ouls that can be conceded
beore a penalty is given is oten reduced in
order to make this more relevant
and appropriate.
The event organiser
should also consider other
elements that are specific
to your tournament or
league such as disciplinaryaction taken ollowing a
sending of (particularly in
a league scenario), what
happens i there is a draw
at the end o a
knock-out game or when
teams are on equal points
at the end o a group stage.
For a league you should
also consider elements
such as teams ailing to
turn up or cancelling at the
last minute.

REFEREESIn official Futsal matches thereare two referees to officiate thematch, a third referee to
manage the benches and tokeep count of the team foulsand a timekeeper.
The event organiser will need to organise thereerees in advance o the tournament or league,
ensuring that they are able to attend and that relevant
communications have been sent to them (e.g. time o
arrival, matches to be reereed, teams taking part, etc).
The event organisermay decide it is
unnecessary to have somany match ocials. It is
suggested that there is at
least one reeree and a
timekeeper who will also
keep count o team ouls
during the match.
The event organiser
should also take into
account the need to rest
match ocials during the
course o a one daytournament, rather than
repeatedly be called upon
to ociate games. This
can obviously lead to
exhaustion or the reerees,
resulting in poorer
decisions being made.
