What we’re about
The goal of this group is to form a team of up to 12 women (ages 21+) who are interested and serious in building the first O’ahu Women’s Futsal Team. The team dynamic would look to be a competitive one that practices and trains 1-2 times a week and plays in a local league or game one night a week. The hope is to build a competitive team that can bond together and compete in higher level tournaments throughout the year in the Women’s Open Division at places like the Pacific Rim Cup, Hawai’i International Futsal Cup and U.S. Futsal NorthWest Regional Championships. Ideally members would be graduated from college, working in the work force, live locally in Honolulu, and have evenings free to get together to practice and play. Flexibility to travel a few weekends out the year to compete in tournaments is ideal!
Futsal is incredibly popular in Europe and Asia and seen as a foundation to developing strong soccer footwork and skills. It has just started gaining more popularity in the US with most Women’s teams and leagues held in California, Michigan, Illinois and other states on the mainland.
Anyone with a strong soccer background who played growing up, in high school and/or college at a competitive level would be a great fit for this group. Futsal experience not required! I will also be creating a Facebook group for O’ahu Women’s Futsal and you can reach out to me on IG @s.nakazawa4 if you’d like to connect!
