is the Cornish football bubble about to burst ?

[Martin Eddy]

this has to be one of the best posts for a long time.

I have had nothing what so ever to do with it but footsal seems to be the way forward. the ball is heavier and cannot be lifted off the ground so easily, making skill and movement off the ball more important I think!!!!

Don't know what sort of ball you are using Pat but the balls used now are so light and move in the air so much it can be difficult to read passes.

as I said only going on what I have heard. I have never seen a fusball

Futsal has been around for years but is only really getting on the radar now. It's a fantastic game that promotes skill, decision making, fair play and the skills and techniques are more transferable to the 11-a-side game.

It was first played in South America and is masive around Europe and the FA have been trying to promote it for some time now. If you watch it on YouTube you will see how quick the game is and just why those who play it are fantastic with the ball at their feet. St Georges Park now has a bespoke futsal indoor arena and it's easy to see why they've invested in the game.

Newquay Tretherras have it as part of their curriculum and at Falmouth School we have arranged a futsal tournament for our primary schools where they will get coaching and tuition regarding techniques and the laws of the game before coming up in November for their tourament.

Futsal is a great game and if my memory is correct we were one of the first schools to bring it into the county about 10 years ago?? (Looe community school)

Working with Paul Allsey and the CCFA we managed to get it off the ground but funding dried up and we couldnt sustain it with other restrictions on the budget!

according to the duchy forum another team has pulled out from their league , also slightly of track st.day rugby club are struggling for players and may have to fold and in an area where rugby imo is the main sport [supported] so it seems that it is not just football stuggling for numbers

The Cornwall FA do NOTHING to helplocal clubs. Despite apparently being one of the wealthiest in the country, I do not know where they spend the money. Surely they should be helping local football

Not a bad idea that.
