Newham sports Club

Newham Futsal Club is a welcoming and community oriented sports club based in East London. We run regular futsal sessions for both kids and adults in Newham and its neighbouring London Boroughs.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for anyone to be involved with one of the world's fastest growing sports.

Whether you want to play for fun, train with FA qualified coaches, or compete against the best sides in the country, our club welcomes you to join us!

Futsal has similar elements to football, handball, and basketball, and is the official FIFA sanctioned small-sided format of the beautiful game.

Unlike our traditional version of "five-a-side", it must be played on a hard court, with handball goals, no walls to bounce the ball off, and a better suited ball.

These rules make for a more exciting and skillful game. It's no coincidence that the greatest exponents of futsal (Brazil, Spain, and Portugal) consistently produce the most technically gifted footballers.

"Futsal is an amazing sport, since the first time I played it I never looked back. You get so much more of the ball and it rewards quick thinking as much as quick feet.

"Players have to be constantly engaged, both in attack and defence, and the fact you make subs like in basketball leads to really high intensity matches.

Its great to play as a beginner, when you realise how much better five-a-side could be, and then as you learn to play at a higher level it just gets better and better."
