Matches
Our Match Days are a great occasion when all the football players get to put all their skills development to the test in a professional competitive match environment. Match days take place every half-term between our two academies so that every team has one HOME fixture and one AWAY fixture each term.
Fixtures vary every match day and are arranged against the opposition to provide different challenges, dependant on the performance and achievement of the team. The players are made to feel like professionals from when they enter the pitch to greet their opponents and their referee and they enjoy pre and post-match team talks with their coach. Our spectators play their part too, by supporting from behind our respect line.
Futsal
Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided football game. The game emphasises technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure, creating an excellent breeding ground for football competencies. Many world class footballers played Futsal in their youth and credit it with supporting their football. Players including Pele, Ronaldinho, Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta and Xavi.
Our sessions take place in a state-of-the-art indoor sports hall with full size specialised Futsal goals. In training sessions, players get the opportunity to develop skills further and take part in mini matches. Match sessions are dedicated to competitive play and replicate South American Street Football.
| Day | Time | Ages | Session |
| Tues | 6:00pm – 7:00pm | 9-11 yrs | Training |
| Thurs | 5:15pm – 6:15pm | 5-7 yrs | Training |
| Thurs | 6:15pm – 7:15pm | 7-9 yrs | Training |
| Fri | 6:00pm – 7:00pm | 7-10 yrs | Matches |
| Fri | 7:00pm – 8:00pm | 10-15 yrs | Matches |
5 benefits to Futsal:

- Opportunity for players to be creative
- Increased power by playing with a heavier ball
- More touches on the ball
- Greater player confidence in 1v1 against their opponent
"When I was a young boy in Argentina, I played Futsal in the street and in a club. It was great fun and helped me to become the player i am today"

Club Links
We share your aspirations for your children to achieve their full potential. For many children, this is the opportunity to play with local grassroots football clubs and we are very proud that our Academy enables this. Many children stay with us beyond this to develop further.
We have been affiliated for over 14 years with a highly successful FA charter standard Community football club called AC Finchley. To find out more information please visit their website http://www.ACFinchley.com
We have strong connections with local premier league clubs and our staff are invited to attend professional development, watch training sessions of the youth teams and also to bring teams to play matches. Through this, we are able to support our players through to whatever level of football they play.
However, it is important for us to say that we do not highlight this as a reason to come to us. We cannot promise that we will develop your child into a professional footballer, we leave this to the professional football clubs. We promise to give your child a fantastic fun environment to gain a lifelong love of the game.

Kit
All members of our academy wear full Non Stop Football kit: personalised shirt, shorts and socks. Shin-guards should be worn for all sessions, trainers for indoor, astro-turf boots for outdoor. For the safety of all players, children wearing metal studs will not be able to take part.
Wearing the correct kit allows children to be comfortable and safe throughout their lesson and it provides a sense of belonging and identity with the rest of their team.
During cold or wet weather, we recommend adding thin layers that can be removed during the session as required. Please avoid anything bulky that restricts your child’s movement.
Kits are available to buy in our online shop or through our Saturday Academy managers. Sample sizes are available to try at our Academies and don’t forget to let us know the correct spelling of your child’s name for personalisation of their shirt.
