Weekly Update

July 7, 2025

THE ACADEMY WEEK AHEAD

With reduced numbers anticipated at sessions, we will be working 30 minutes on small sided games and the remaining 30 minutes will be on the full court. Please let us know if your child is unable to make a session with as much notice as possible. In some circumstances we are betterto combine sessions if we know numbers are going to be extremely low.

Parents have been made aware of time and venue changes via email. Sessions impacted include Monday and Tuesday sessions at Queen Anne HS, and Sunday moning sessions at Inverkeithing.

1% MORE EVERY DAY - FARTLEK RUNS

We are on a mission to get as many of our players as fit as possible for next season and the fartlek runs are a great way of improving fitness for futsal and football. 1% of your day is just 14 minutes and we are looking for players to do the following EVERY DAY over the summer. If they do, they will be fitter and stronger than before and fully prepared for the new seasons.

3 x 4 minute runs with a 1 minute recover in between. Options:

  • 20 seconds jog/10 seconds sprint
  • 10 seconds jog/10 seconds sprint/10 seconds walk
  • 15 seconds jog/15 seconds sprint
  • 20 seconds jog/10 seconds sprint/10 seconds walk

Players can choose to use any of the above options.

SUMMER HOLIDAY BREAK

We have a 1 week break between the 3rd and 9th of August (inclusive).

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

The good news continued with Leo Rollo signing for Dunfermline Athletic 2011's. Well done Leo!!

TEAMS UPDATE

I was in Madeira last week to take in the Funchal Cup. I am delighted to say that we will be putting teams in this tournamnet in 2026. Age groups include, u11, u13, u15, u17 and u19. The standard, facilities and place in general were fantatic and it will be a great experience for those selected.

ADULT

Our adult teams are still training but they don't have any matches until August when we have matches arranged.

YOUTH

Due to family member being ill, I unfortunately made the decision to cancel the summer tournaments. Thanks for messages of support from parents, it means a lot.

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:

  • Small Group Sessions focusing on individual development (max of 8 per group)
  • 3v3 Tournaments
  • Camps
  • Team Sessions
  • Birthday Parties
  • Festivals/Community/Corporate Events
  • Hire

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.
