Welcome to the second edition of Power of Five NZF Futsalrsquos quarterly lsquoround uprsquo It has been a busy three months for futsal with national and international competitions new programmes new world class facilities more futsal dedicated staff and more centres
The Futsal Whites missed out on the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2012 in a heart-breaking semi final penalty shootout with Tahiti but spirits were quickly lifted when the country got a glimpse of the future at the NZF Futsal National JuniorYouth Championships With 36 teams and over 130 action packed games - the tournament was a showcase of incredible skill discipline and fun for all Teams from as far north as Whangarei and as far south as Christchurch converged on Hawkersquos Bay Futsalrsquos excellent facility - PettigrewGreen Arena
This is testament to the rapid growth of the game on our shores and from what was on show the future is very bright indeed
Meanwhile Capital Futsal will still be pinching themselves to make sure they are not dreaming with the new ASB Indoor Sports Centre in Wellington
The Futsal Whites led the way at the 15000 attendance grand opening with a showcase game against a well structured St Patrickrsquos College representative futsal team in front of Wellington and national dignitaries This was followed by a number of tournaments for all age groups and abilities and a chance for the local community to challenge the Futsal Whites to a game
We now have seven dedicated Futsal Development Managers and Futsal Development Officers working nationally in our federations and the numbers will continue to rise as we near the end of 2011 There are now over 120 qualified futsal referees officiating up to 700 games of futsal a week
Futsal now has its place in the sporting landscape of New Zealand but as always in sport a big thank you goes out to those dedicated volunteers who day in day outgo the extra mile for the development of futsal This issue is a tribute to these coaches team managers administrators and mentors You know who you are and the futsal community thanks you all

The Futsal Whites meanwhile will have to wait another four years for their shot at futsal glory following a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss in the semi-final after a 3-3 extra time draw with Tahiti

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high
ldquoFutsal is not the easiest game to referee We always knew the referees would be a key factor in the success of the tournament and the team Dave Payne and Ken Wallace assembled for the weekend did not let us down They were top notchrdquo he said

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

Welcome to the second edition of Power of Five NZF Futsalrsquos quarterly lsquoround uprsquo It has been a busy three months for futsal with national and international competitions new programmes new world class facilities more futsal dedicated staff and more centres
The Futsal Whites missed out on the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2012 in a heart-breaking semi final penalty shootout with Tahiti but spirits were quickly lifted when the country got a glimpse of the future at the NZF Futsal National JuniorYouth Championships With 36 teams and over 130 action packed games - the tournament was a showcase of incredible skill discipline and fun for all Teams from as far north as Whangarei and as far south as Christchurch converged on Hawkersquos Bay Futsalrsquos excellent facility - PettigrewGreen Arena
This is testament to the rapid growth of the game on our shores and from what was on show the future is very bright indeed
Meanwhile Capital Futsal will still be pinching themselves to make sure they are not dreaming with the new ASB Indoor Sports Centre in Wellington
The Futsal Whites led the way at the 15000 attendance grand opening with a showcase game against a well structured St Patrickrsquos College representative futsal team in front of Wellington and national dignitaries This was followed by a number of tournaments for all age groups and abilities and a chance for the local community to challenge the Futsal Whites to a game
We now have seven dedicated Futsal Development Managers and Futsal Development Officers working nationally in our federations and the numbers will continue to rise as we near the end of 2011 There are now over 120 qualified futsal referees officiating up to 700 games of futsal a week
Futsal now has its place in the sporting landscape of New Zealand but as always in sport a big thank you goes out to those dedicated volunteers who day in day outgo the extra mile for the development of futsal This issue is a tribute to these coaches team managers administrators and mentors You know who you are and the futsal community thanks you all

Solomon Islands will once again face the worldrsquos best futsal sides at the FIFA Futsal World Cup after a thrilling 6-4 victory over Tahiti in the OFC Futsal Championships Final at the Vodafone Arena in Suva in May
A massive shock looked on the cards after the impressive Tahiti side lead the favourites 4-1 early in the second half of a pulsating final But the Solomons Islands comeback led by captain and tournament MVP Elliot Ragomo swept the Tahitians aside and the lsquoKurukurursquo booked their place in Thailand 2012 much to the delight of a packed stadium and their fans back home
The Futsal Whites meanwhile will have to wait another four years for their shot at futsal glory following a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss in the semi-final after a 3-3 extra time draw with Tahiti
Earlier the Futsal Whites had finished top of Group A following a draw against Fiji and victories over Vanuatu and tournament newcomers Kiribati

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event

Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

Welcome to the second edition of Power of Five NZF Futsalrsquos quarterly lsquoround uprsquo It has been a busy three months for futsal with national and international competitions new programmes new world class facilities more futsal dedicated staff and more centres
The Futsal Whites missed out on the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2012 in a heart-breaking semi final penalty shootout with Tahiti but spirits were quickly lifted when the country got a glimpse of the future at the NZF Futsal National JuniorYouth Championships With 36 teams and over 130 action packed games - the tournament was a showcase of incredible skill discipline and fun for all Teams from as far north as Whangarei and as far south as Christchurch converged on Hawkersquos Bay Futsalrsquos excellent facility - PettigrewGreen Arena
This is testament to the rapid growth of the game on our shores and from what was on show the future is very bright indeed
Meanwhile Capital Futsal will still be pinching themselves to make sure they are not dreaming with the new ASB Indoor Sports Centre in Wellington
The Futsal Whites led the way at the 15000 attendance grand opening with a showcase game against a well structured St Patrickrsquos College representative futsal team in front of Wellington and national dignitaries This was followed by a number of tournaments for all age groups and abilities and a chance for the local community to challenge the Futsal Whites to a game
We now have seven dedicated Futsal Development Managers and Futsal Development Officers working nationally in our federations and the numbers will continue to rise as we near the end of 2011 There are now over 120 qualified futsal referees officiating up to 700 games of futsal a week
Futsal now has its place in the sporting landscape of New Zealand but as always in sport a big thank you goes out to those dedicated volunteers who day in day outgo the extra mile for the development of futsal This issue is a tribute to these coaches team managers administrators and mentors You know who you are and the futsal community thanks you all

Solomon Islands will once again face the worldrsquos best futsal sides at the FIFA Futsal World Cup after a thrilling 6-4 victory over Tahiti in the OFC Futsal Championships Final at the Vodafone Arena in Suva in May
A massive shock looked on the cards after the impressive Tahiti side lead the favourites 4-1 early in the second half of a pulsating final But the Solomons Islands comeback led by captain and tournament MVP Elliot Ragomo swept the Tahitians aside and the lsquoKurukurursquo booked their place in Thailand 2012 much to the delight of a packed stadium and their fans back home
The Futsal Whites meanwhile will have to wait another four years for their shot at futsal glory following a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss in the semi-final after a 3-3 extra time draw with Tahiti
Earlier the Futsal Whites had finished top of Group A following a draw against Fiji and victories over Vanuatu and tournament newcomers Kiribati
NEW ZEALAND 4 FIJI 4On the opening night a well-prepared Futsal Whites got off to a hesitant start going down 1-0 early to a fired up local side Skipper Marvin Eakins equalized five minutes before half time and notched a second after the break before goals from

NEW ZEALAND 6 VANUATU 4A fine solo effort from Jakub Sinkora followed by a clinical finish from Nathan Robertson gave the Futsal Whites the best possible start in this lsquomust winrsquo game for the Futsal Whites Vanuatu brought the game back to 2-2 just after halftime and soon after it was 3-3 after Robertson and Vanuatursquos influential Don Mansale traded blows Goals from Micky Malivuk and Dylan Manickum made it five for the Futsal Whites before Vanuatu scored again
to keep in touch at 5-4 Greg OrsquoConnor then came off the bench to score a fine sixth ensuring the Futsal Whites had not only made the semi-finals but avoided a match up with the rampant Solomon Islands

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high
ldquoFutsal is not the easiest game to referee We always knew the referees would be a key factor in the success of the tournament and the team Dave Payne and Ken Wallace assembled for the weekend did not let us down They were top notchrdquo he said

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event

Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high
ldquoFutsal is not the easiest game to referee We always knew the referees would be a key factor in the success of the tournament and the team Dave Payne and Ken Wallace assembled for the weekend did not let us down They were top notchrdquo he said

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

Solomon Islands will once again face the worldrsquos best futsal sides at the FIFA Futsal World Cup after a thrilling 6-4 victory over Tahiti in the OFC Futsal Championships Final at the Vodafone Arena in Suva in May
A massive shock looked on the cards after the impressive Tahiti side lead the favourites 4-1 early in the second half of a pulsating final But the Solomons Islands comeback led by captain and tournament MVP Elliot Ragomo swept the Tahitians aside and the lsquoKurukurursquo booked their place in Thailand 2012 much to the delight of a packed stadium and their fans back home
The Futsal Whites meanwhile will have to wait another four years for their shot at futsal glory following a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss in the semi-final after a 3-3 extra time draw with Tahiti

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high

The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event
September sees our ldquoFutsal Camprdquo run every Saturday Under 12s and 12-15s using the time to grow their game with expert coaches and players guidance Along with our schools competition starting next term and a very successful referees training day adding 10 refs to our roster we are growing in all areas and on all fronts
We look forward to catching up with the Futsal community at the Girls Nationals and the Masters where we will bring teams to both
Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high
ldquoFutsal is not the easiest game to referee We always knew the referees would be a key factor in the success of the tournament and the team Dave Payne and Ken Wallace assembled for the weekend did not let us down They were top notchrdquo he said

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event
September sees our ldquoFutsal Camprdquo run every Saturday Under 12s and 12-15s using the time to grow their game with expert coaches and players guidance Along with our schools competition starting next term and a very successful referees training day adding 10 refs to our roster we are growing in all areas and on all fronts
We look forward to catching up with the Futsal community at the Girls Nationals and the Masters where we will bring teams to both
Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high
ldquoFutsal is not the easiest game to referee We always knew the referees would be a key factor in the success of the tournament and the team Dave Payne and Ken Wallace assembled for the weekend did not let us down They were top notchrdquo he said

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high
ldquoFutsal is not the easiest game to referee We always knew the referees would be a key factor in the success of the tournament and the team Dave Payne and Ken Wallace assembled for the weekend did not let us down They were top notchrdquo he said

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event
September sees our ldquoFutsal Camprdquo run every Saturday Under 12s and 12-15s using the time to grow their game with expert coaches and players guidance Along with our schools competition starting next term and a very successful referees training day adding 10 refs to our roster we are growing in all areas and on all fronts

Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

ldquoIn previous years most teams were playing indoor football rather than futsal but the technical ability and movement of the more successful teams suggests we are entering a new phase of the game in this countryrdquo Toohey added
ldquoIt will be interesting to see how the individual centres progress over the next few years Those that are able to get coaching programmes and regular sessions for their players will definitely have the edge rdquo
The 14s final between Auckland Sampa and Mainland Canterbury proved to be an outstanding finale to the tournament with Auckland prevailing 7-6 in extra time after a titanic clash between two experienced and skilful sides
Toohey also paid tribute to the referees who despite a massive workload kept the standard high
ldquoFutsal is not the easiest game to referee We always knew the referees would be a key factor in the success of the tournament and the team Dave Payne and Ken Wallace assembled for the weekend did not let us down They were top notchrdquo he said

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event
September sees our ldquoFutsal Camprdquo run every Saturday Under 12s and 12-15s using the time to grow their game with expert coaches and players guidance Along with our schools competition starting next term and a very successful referees training day adding 10 refs to our roster we are growing in all areas and on all fronts
We look forward to catching up with the Futsal community at the Girls Nationals and the Masters where we will bring teams to both
Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event
September sees our ldquoFutsal Camprdquo run every Saturday Under 12s and 12-15s using the time to grow their game with expert coaches and players guidance Along with our schools competition starting next term and a very successful referees training day adding 10 refs to our roster we are growing in all areas and on all fronts
We look forward to catching up with the Futsal community at the Girls Nationals and the Masters where we will bring teams to both
Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key

EAST CITyEast City Futsal based at the ASB Stadium in Kohimarama Auckland runs a premier league on Monday nights (comprised of ten teams) which is played on an international size court with two referee officials per game
The competition this season has been exceptional all games have been close with some upsets along the way
The East City Youth Development Squad took advantage of East City National League training finishing in the top four - a huge accomplishment The final night was a no-holds barred night both semi-finals and finals Arabian Knights and KBT went head to head in the finalrsquos and after a very intense game with some amazing futsal skills by both teams KBT took out the Premier Winter League now winning back to back seasons -Barbara Gwilliam
East City took a squad of 8 players to the U14s 2011 NZ Football Futsal National Junior Youth Championship held at Pettigrew Green Arena Napier on 23-24 July The team was drawn from participants in our in-house Summer 2011 competition The team was coached by Dennis Dow the older brother of one of our players who plays in the clubrsquos premier league with our youth development squad
The boys got off to a flying start with a convincing 9-0 win over Nelson Bays The highlight of the game was a 6-goal haul by midfielder Matthew Bouzaid who went on to repeat this achievement in the games against Wellington Team Awesome and Auckland Futsal Rio In total Matthew scored 19 goals only one short of winning the Golden Boot Award
The highlight of our tournament was the quarter-final against Auckland Futsal Rio
a team which included a large contingent of Auckland representative players East City made a tremendous start going 4-0 up within the first five minutes before Rio staged a strong comeback to level by half time and then to lead 7-5 early in the second half The East City boys kept their composure and put the Rio defence under such pressure that they conceded a number of fouls in and around their own goal box with two of the resulting free kicks being coolly converted to bring the scores level The boys snatched the lead with less than two minutes to play and displayed great maturity to hold Rio at bayIn the semi final the boys were again given a futsal lesson by an extremely skilful and well drilled Mainland Futsal team who went on to lose an extra-time thriller in the final against Auckland Futsal Sampa
The East City boys can be very proud of the fact that their only two losses during the tournament came to the teams which finished first and second As the competition progressed their confidence and awareness improved markedly and will stand them in good stead in future years

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event
September sees our ldquoFutsal Camprdquo run every Saturday Under 12s and 12-15s using the time to grow their game with expert coaches and players guidance Along with our schools competition starting next term and a very successful referees training day adding 10 refs to our roster we are growing in all areas and on all fronts
We look forward to catching up with the Futsal community at the Girls Nationals and the Masters where we will bring teams to both
Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

HB Futsal
After hosting the third annual National Junior and Youth Championships at the Pettigrew Green Arena we have turned our attention to the Term 4 Leagues which commence on October 25 Enrolments are underway with over fifty teams (JuniorIntermediateYouthSocialPremier) expected to take part in our Tuesday night leagues
Recent discussions with the Arena have highlighted the high demand for court space from the other sporting codes who currently use the facility Basketball volleyball and netball are all experiencing huge growth due in particular to the college programmes in operation The challenge for futsal in Hawkersquos Bay is finding enough courts to enable the heavily subscribed leagues to expand further as we are in the unfortunate position at the moment of having to turn teams away
A major highlight of the last quarter was the success of the HB Stormers who picked up the 16s championship trophy at the recent Nationals after beating Capital Futsal 6-0 in the final

Capital Futsal
Futsalrsquos future in Wellington looks bright if the success of ASB Sport Centrersquos grand opening in August is anything to go by
As one of many sports which will call the 12 court $475 million venue in Kilbirnie home futsal was exposed to a large new audience with around 15000 visiting during the open day
Futsal activities held throughout the day included the national team the Futsal Whites competing in a cup of nations against ethnic-based local sides
The Futsal Whites predictably prevailed beating an Africa United team led by Team Wellington striker Hicham Kamri 7-1 in the final
There were also womens and youth tournaments held and one court was also set aside for people to try futsal in different gender and age groups with Futsal Whites players mixing with locals game enough to step on court
ldquoIt was a great chance to get in front of people who may not have played much futsal if at allrdquo said NZF Futsal Development Manager Dave Payne
ldquoThe interest from kids was particularly pleasing and I think they really enjoyed the sport as well as the opportunity to play against national team players and get their autographs while they were there
ldquoSome turned up after winter football some had played other sports but were taken by the skill of the game and the fact that anyone can play

We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential
ldquoI STILL HAVE MUCH I WANT TO ACHIEVE HERE IN WELLINGTON AND DREAM OF FUTSALrsquoS OWN lsquoBAHRAIN MOMENTrsquo IN 2015 - SO WHO KNOWS
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSrdquo

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential

The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season

to Peter Livingstone for coaching the 14s to Silver and Matt Hoole doing the same for the 10s but all the teams coaches and support staff did themselves proud It was a great opportunity to play against all the regions of the country and the boys returned with growth and knowledge under their belt as well as great memories of a great event
September sees our ldquoFutsal Camprdquo run every Saturday Under 12s and 12-15s using the time to grow their game with expert coaches and players guidance Along with our schools competition starting next term and a very successful referees training day adding 10 refs to our roster we are growing in all areas and on all fronts
We look forward to catching up with the Futsal community at the Girls Nationals and the Masters where we will bring teams to both
Futsal South
Football South Futsal has recently changed its name to Futsal South Each centre within the Futsal South region will use the logos above with their centre name as per Futsal South ndash Dunedin logo
We now have centres in Dunedin Wanaka Queenstown Timaru and looking to start in Balclutha
Futsal South has held two selection tournaments in Dunedin to choose our National League squad from Teams from Queenstown Wanaka and Dunedin were involved over the 2 rounds with some great Futsal played by all involved
Queenstown Falcons took out the first tournament and Real Football winning the second tournament Luiz Uhera (Futsal South National League Coach) and Chris Button (Futsal South National League Manager) have selected an initial training squad of 30 players from those involved to train towards the 201112 National League
In September 2011 we are starting our summer Futsal leagues We have Senior leagues running on Monday and Wednesday nights Primary school leagues on Wednesday afternoons Intermediate and Junior High School leagues on Tuesday afternoons and Senior High School leagues on Thursday afternoons
With the introduction of our Primary School League we are also offering a futsal in Schools coaching program which involves a part time coach teaching basic Futsal skills in Primary and Intermediate School pupils We have had a very positive response to our pilot program that was run at Tahuna Intermediate with over 450 pupils being given Futsal instruction in their Physical Education classes for 2 weeks
We have signed up a number of schools for this program for terms 3 amp 4 of 2011 and also have schools signed up for next year We are also looking to take the program to the Central Otago and Clutha districts to help boost player numbers in those areas
This should give a real boost towards the future of Futsal in our region
Futsal South has been running referee courses over the region and now have 52 qualified referees and another course running shortly

Can you tell us a little bit about the KiwiSport College Futsal initiative you are involved withCapital Futsal and myself personally would not be here without it so we owe a great deal of gratitude to KiwiSport College Sport Wellington and Sport Wellington It allowed me to leave a job in a bank fourteen months ago and get out into colleges to grow the game Over 2000 students from 16 different colleges have been involved from sessions in their school to local college leagues up to College Nationals and young Izaac OrsquoHara showing the pathways in the game being involved with the Futsal Whites What about the National League this year Capital were the top New Zealand side in 201011 Will you have pretty much the same outfit as last yearThings are always changing We lose two of our senior Futsal Whites overseas in Lucas da Silva and Tariq Assad We have some new Brazilians who have been training with the team I am hoping one or two of my promising U19 squad will squeeze in too but things are getting very competitive We have the same management and coaching team which provides some continuity to build on last season and catch those Aussies Our new competitive league will be played on our three international courts which will help too How did the Capital teams enjoy the JuniorYouth Nationals this year The 16s did particularly well and made the finalI think it was a real landmark event The standard went through the roof and centres now will have to send their best players selected from their leagues and
training together It was great to see My 16s were the St Patrickrsquos College team and performed amazingly with just six players from one school showing the benefit of futsal specific training to learn technically and tactically how to play the game Beating squads of eight and nine players selected from federations was quite an achievement They also played the first ever game of any sport at the Opening Day (of the new stadium)against the Futsal Whites and only lost 4-1 in 16 minutes of game time which speaks volumes for these boys I think I was happy with all the teams from the 10s up to 16s and come next year I can only imagine what our top teams will look like after playing and training in the best facility in the country
Capital have always been pioneers - a few years ago Brian Blellock and others set up that great little futsal club in Hataitai Now you have offices in the what is probably the best facility in the Southern Hemisphere What are long term plans for the game in Wellington I think even medium term the transition to Capital Football is the most important thing It is not going to be instant and we are still learning every day To integrate futsal into trainings have futsal specific days and host top tournaments Who knows maybe in a few years we might become a lsquomajorrsquo sport In just four years since that league in Hataitai we have become a major stakeholder in the new centre with netball and basketball Four years ago you would have thought we were mad but it shows firstly the potential

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds

have a great team behind me with support in areas like accounts which allows me to spend more of my time planning the ASB Centre programme as well as getting out into even more schools How much coaching are you doingLast term I trialled ldquoCoach n Playrdquo leagues in both of our U13 leagues which went well At the moment I coach the St Pats U16 team on a weekly basis with the ambition of winning NZSSSC College Nationals hosted right next door at the ASB Centre in March 2012 Our U19 squad is a representative team and is going to Australia for the nationals in January We will be together playing and training three times a week from next month Our Island Bay Team Awesome U13s have been training once and playing once a week in preparation for Nationals in Australia too From next term Friday nights will be coaching nights for U11s and each age group up to 16s 19s and Men We see this as an important part of the programme to help educate futsal players which in turn will also produce better football players Whatrsquos a typical week for you Matt - Futsal every day Most eveningsAll day all night Yes As part of the Capital transition and with the new centre I am involving more people in running and refereeing the leagues so I can be more efficient in the overall management as opposed to being out ldquoon the groundrdquo at
Capital Futsalrsquos Development Officer is at the centre of the growing futsal scene in Wellington With four yearsrsquo experience as a player coach administrator and volunteer under his belt Fejos is a regular fixture at tournaments and events around the country POWER OF FIVE caught up with him in the days following the opening of the new state of the art twelve court ASB Community Centre - the new home for futsal in Wellington
Matt - how long have you been involved in futsalSince late 2007 coming back to Wellington for summer after Otago University and wanting to play indoor soccer - which is all I knew at the time A knock on Dave and Sarahrsquos Paynersquos door changed my life I guess Tell us a little bit about your role with Capital Futsal Capital City Futsal has recently been integrated into Capital Football hasnrsquot itYes we are currently going through the transition of Capital Football taking on the responsibility for delivering futsal as with other federations around the country My role up until now has been everything really running and promoting the leagues school visits with a focus on the Kiwisport College programme administering everything and overall organisingThis is now changing as things get bigger and with the transition to Capital - I now
leagues four nights a week The emails administration and practical running of things are endless so good thing I do it because I love it At times it seems there is too much interest It is a fantastic problem to have
Are you still finding time to playI sneak in a few social games a week which allows me to drop in on the leagues too and make sure everything is ok too I donrsquot have the time for much more than that and have made the decision that I have more to contribute off the court than on by way of contributing to the opportunities of others You guys are doing well on the referee development side of things How many qualified referees do you have now in WellingtonWe have about 25 from our last two courses in Wellington Most encouraging is the college students involved in what is traditionally seen as an lsquoold manrsquosrsquo thing There are also pathways within refereeing onto the National League and OFC Championships The new centre with twelve courts and a brand new meeting room will provide a professional venue to host referee and coach education sessions Capital Footballrsquos Jamie Cross has also officiated at the OFC Championships in the past so has a lot of experience And Adam Walker volunteers and develops referees which is a real asset to us

of this amazing game that is already proven around the world and secondly that with a team of volunteers willing to put in lots of work into something they believe in amazing things can happen
The new centre presents a great opportunity to get more players involved There is the potential for 200 teams in the new centre and with perfect timing of the outdoor season coming to a close The womens and college leagues are showing huge potential for growth As we build momentum over the summer and work through Capital Football I believe more clubs teams of all ages will adopt futsal as one of their training nights during the football season
What about the national scene Do you feel the game has come a long way in the last few years What are the top priorities for the next few years Can the Futsal Whites get close to the Solomon IslandsThat youth tournament in Napier in July as I said was a real landmark They are the future and to have our kids playing from a young age is how we will catch
the Solomons For the next World Cup campaign in four years time I hope some of our Capital 16-19 year olds might progress Longer term if we can be teaching our children from five years up and create a futsal culture with our facility Irsquod like to think we will catch the Aussies too And what about your own professional development in futsal It must be tremendous working in the game that you love Where would you like to be in a few yearsPeople have asked me this question and in all honesty I donrsquot know To do something you love and contribute something positive to your community as opposed to as opposed to measuring the money earned our hours worked is an honour Things have been so busy I just plan to keep my head down for another twelve months and then assess things then I am pretty happy with where I am at at the moment As things are still growing I am fortunate enough to develop a wide range of experience in marketing managing coaching dealing with key
stakeholders etc I have been forced to develop at the same pace as the sport here which is a great challenge so I am learning and growing every day in a broad set of skills I still have much I want to achieve here in Wellington and dream of futsalrsquos own ldquoBahrain momentrdquo in 2015 so who knows what the future holds
