As futsal continues to gain momentum as a dynamic and growing sport in England, Manchester Futsal Club is at the forefront of expanding opportunities for players through its network of satellite clubs. With locations in MFC Cheadle, MFC Didsbury, MFC Bury and MFC Salford, these clubs are designed to ensure that the sport reaches more local communities. They play a crucial role in providing young players with access to futsal, giving them the chance to develop their skills and experience the game in a supportive and professional environment.
Developing the Futsal Community
Satellite clubs are essential in nurturing the sport at a grassroots level. By creating a network of local hubs, Manchester Futsal Club is decentralising operations, making it easier for players from different parts of Greater Manchester to get involved. These clubs offer a convenient entry point into the futsal community, removing the barriers of travel and accessibility for families and young players.
Each satellite club is led by a dedicated coaching team, providing high-quality training sessions that emphasise technical skills, tactical awareness, and a passion for the game. As Manchester Futsal Club continues to grow, these satellite clubs are producing not only talented futsal players but also future ambassadors for the sport, spreading its values and techniques throughout the region.
Creating Pathways for Future Stars
What makes these satellite clubs particularly valuable is their integration with Manchester Futsal Club’s academy structure. Players from MFC Cheadle, MFC Didsbury, MFC Bury and MFC Salford have a clear progression pathway into the club’s academy and potentially to the first team. This system ensures that players, no matter where they begin their futsal journey, can aspire to the highest levels of the sport.
Building a Stronger Futsal Network in Greater Manchester
The growth of futsal in Greater Manchester is built on the collective effort of the entire community. Manchester Futsal Club’s satellite clubs are at the heart of this mission, acting as vital vehicles for expanding the sport’s reach. Ilya Ovechkin, Co-Founder and Academy Director of Manchester Futsal Club, emphasises the impact of these clubs on the community:
"Satellite clubs play an important role in the local areas, making sure players have access to futsal in their own communities. We encourage junior clubs and any local football clubs to get in contact with our satellite clubs to really grow the game. We are also very keen on developing technically strong players for both futsal and football.”
Simon Wright, Co-Founder of Manchester Futsal Club and a proud native of Cheadle, emphasises the value of the satellite model:
“Our satellite clubs are a vehicle to grow the game of futsal. Being from Cheadle myself, I’m particularly proud that MFC Cheadle provides a fantastic futsal offering for players in my local area. We’re delighted to see the satellite clubs flourish and we’re looking forward to continuing their growth.”
If you or your child is interested in joining a satellite club, MFC Cheadle, MFC Didsbury, MFC Bury and MFC Salford provide a welcoming environment for players of all levels. With skilled coaching staff, participation in the Manchester Youth Futsal League, and a clear progression pathway, these satellite clubs are the perfect place to start or further develop a futsal journey.
