Indoor futsal is not currently permitted. For the time being all fixtures are postponed.
But the League Committee has been discussing how the League might operate for the rest of the season. It is far from clear what we will be able to do but if we can re-start in April or May we want to put on as much futsal as possible before the season ends. Of course, we are in the hands of our venues, so until they can confirm their availability we can only plan in general terms.
We have decided our first priority will be to complete the u12 season so far as possible. If we can do that and have capacity over, then we'll give other ages groups some playing time starting with the u14s, but that time is likely to be quite limited.
Unless we can find some additional capacity, we will not be able to complete the 2019/20 cup competition nor run the 2020/21 cups, so they are on hold now and are likely to be cancelled.
We do not propose to run summer tournaments this year as the planning for them would have to start now, well before we can be sure they could go ahead.
We assume next season will start in September 2021, so we'll start the registration process for that this spring. We have already had enquires from new teams hoping to join us next season.
We are happy to look at alternatives, but in the present circumstances we have decided to start with modest but deliverable plans, rather than something overly ambitious. There may be chances to do something additional, for example a summer league, but for the moment we propose to put that to one side.
