10 Fire Officers have completed the FA Level 1 Coaching course and are now coaching Futsal in Schools, Colleges and 6th Forms.
Teams currently taking part in the project are being linked to local clubs and participating in friendly fixtures and festivals.
A Futsal festival took place at Cranfield University on 24th February. The festival was a huge success with some great Futsal skills being displayed, winners of the U16 division were Redborne School and the open age division were St Martins Ladies FC.
Well done to both winners, who will now aim to retain their title at the culminating festival which will take place on Wednesday 28th April from 4-7pm at Bedford Athletics Track.
Bedfordshire FA has invited a female England player to be in attendance on the day to sign autographs and hand out medals to the winning teams.
If you are interested in entering the festival, please register your team by Friday 9th April. E-mail: Anika Leslie-Walker
