The North Alabama Futsal League (NAFL) conducts the following programs and activities throughout the year:

  • Fall and Spring Futsal Academies – in September and October and again in April and May (sometimes earlier), youth players are coached in futsal specific skills and techniques for both better futsal play but also for better soccer play since the coaching of the futsal academy relates the newly acquired futsal skills to particular soccer situations. This is coaching not available from soccer coaches. Academies include scrimmaging too, which is what everyone wants, of course. While academies are planned for fall and spring, sometimes one may be hosted in the winter or summer. Read how to register for this activity here.
  • Winter and Summer Seasons of Competitive League-type Games – in November thru January (winter session 1), in February and March (winter session 2) and in June and July (summer’s single session), both youth of ages from 8 thru 19 and adult teams form and compete for division titles. These are competitive games, played strictly by FIFA futsal rules, and officiated by two referees and a timekeeper (the youngest youth may have only two officials). Trophies and/or t-shirts are awarded to division champions. Read how to register for this activity here.
  • Tournaments – both youth and adult futsal tournaments throughout the year. See Tournaments page on this website. Read how to register for this activity here.
  • Futsal Play Dates – possibly games between Huntsville futsal teams (youth and adult) and Birmingham futsal teams, if there is interest. These games are not part of any season or tournament. They are just friendlies for the sake of variety and for adding experience. Read how to register for this activity here.
  • Adult Pickup Games – one to two hours adult pickup futsal games often in any time left over from youth activities and also separately at Huntsville Rec Centers. While pickup games are planned for fall and spring, sometimes they may be hosted in the summer or winter. Read how to register for this activity here
  • Fall and Spring Futsal Games or “Futsal Time” – in September and October and again in April and May (sometimes earlier), single hour sessions of youth playing futsal with brief teaching of the basic futsal rules and much playing futsal, facilitated by a single referee. Read how to register for this activity here.
  • Futsal Camps – occasionally, during school fall and spring breaks, an hour or two of “Futsal Time” will be hosted to give youth something to do while school is out and at the same time, in many cases, teaching them something new.
  • Promotions – the league promotes coaches taking futsal coaching courses with financial support. See details here. And the league also gives a big discount on team fees when coaches or managers recruit new teams into the league. See details here.
