The Little Dragons are our entry point into the club and an area we take immense pride in. Coaching 2-3 year olds is a challenge we all love at UD and with each session we ensure the practices are age specific, fun, relatable and engaging.

Played on hard surfaces and mostly indoors with small sided teams, Futsal places emphasis on technical skill in restricted spaces. The ball is heavier and smaller than a normal ball, meaning play usually stays on the ground.

Futsal has it’s own rights, rules and principles, slightly different to football, designed to make the game fast, exciting and force the players to input their technique to challenges.
