Lincoln Futsal Academy

Founded: 2024

Location: Lincoln

About: Lincoln Futsal Academy was created to provide a high-quality futsal environment where young players can develop their skills, confidence, and love for the game. Our focus is on nurturing talent through structured coaching, teamwork, and enjoyment both on and off the court.

We currently run sessions for ages 4 to 14, supporting players across all ability levels. The academy now proudly has around 80 registered players who train and compete regularly, developing their technical ability and passion for futsal in a positive and inclusive environment.

Our Proudest Moment: Our proudest moment came when several of our players were offered academy places at professional clubs, including Lincoln City, Leicester City, and Nottingham Forest. Seeing our young members take the next step in their football journeys is a testament to the dedication of our players, coaches, and families who make Lincoln Futsal Academy such a special community.
