THE ACADEMY WEEK AHEAD
This week is Attacking Week, with shooting and overloads being the main focus. As always, we will be encouraging players to use their brain 🧠.
SUMMER HOLIDAYS
We operate throughout the summer holidays with a 1 week break between the 3rd and 9th of August (inclusive). Over the school holidays, numbers are always lower and we may combine certain sessions in Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing. Queen Anne HS is closed over the holidays. Sessions will be moved to Dunfermline Learning Campus (DLC) with slight changes to the schedule. We will also move the Carnegie sessions to DLC on a Tuesday so we are all in one venue. Parents will be emailed directly regarding any changes to times or venues.
TESTING
Eck from Raeside Pro Edge Conditioning will be testing the players before our break between the 27th of July and the 1st of August. Testing includes recording players height, weight, acceleration, change of direction, top speed, and explosive strength and power. Results are compared to previous tests and sent out to parents.
SUCCESS STORIES
It has been a good week for current and ex Futsal Escocia players!!
PRO ENVIRONMENT
Logan Raeside (16), made his first team debut for Raith Rovers on Saturday alongside 2 further ex Escocia players, Callum Hannah and Ethan Drysdale. Alasdair Davidson also played 45 minutes as a trialist for Dunfermline Athletic.
Sky Sports News, Fabrizio Romano and the national papers have reported that Alfie Hutchison has signed with Newcastle United. We will share further details on this once Newcastle shares confirmation on their platforms.
We also have a number of our younger players being invited into pro clubs to train but we don't like to share any of this until they reach a milestone like signing or making a debut.
We are delighted to see so many current and ex Escocia players progressing to the professional game.
We wish all the boys and girls every success this season!!
GRASSROOTS
Congratulations to Kenzie McDonald in making his senior debut for Glenrothes FC at just 16 years of age. I have no doubts that exposure to our adult futsal sides from 15 years of age has helped our players transition to the adult game.
Congratulations to Kodi Whittaker in winning coaches and parents Player of Year Awards at Templehall United 2011s. Congratulations also goes out to Danny Buist who scooped the parents and players Player of the Year awards at Duloch Jrs 2012s. Both boys train at Kirkcaldy on a Wednesday.
TEAMS UPDATE
Our adult teams are still training but they dont have any matches until August.
We have tournaments for our 2017s, 2016s, 2015s, 2014s and 2013s over the summer holidays. Check the TeamFeePay app to register availability. We also have team camps at DLC between the 11th and 15th of August.

Street Feet by Futsal Escocia
We have ordered 4 x inflatable 3v3 pitches that can be used on any surface, indoors and outdoors.The pitches should arrive by mid July and we will be using the pitches for the following once they arrive:
We have invested a lot of money into this project to further promote our belief in the benefits of small sided games. The pitches are frequently used by the big football academies across the world to provide a street type football environment. You can do exactly the same with Futsal Escocia.
Summer Camps
We have 2 weekly camps available to book at Rosyth Fleet Grounds in July and a 1 day 3v3 camp using the new inflatable 3v3 pitches at Michael Woods in August.
