Graiseley Sports
Founded: 2023
Location: Wolverhampton
About: Graiseley Sports was established with a mission to introduce futsal to our community and create a fun, inclusive and supportive environment for young players to develop.
Since our launch, we’ve grown to around 40 members, welcoming both boys and girls aged 5–13.
We currently run mixed football sessions and proudly field competitive futsal teams at Under-10 and Under-12 level, both of which compete in local league action throughout the season.
Our Proudest Moment: Our proudest moment so far has been seeing our young players step onto the court for their very first competitive futsal games. showcasing their passion, teamwork and confidence.
It was a milestone that reflected how far we’ve come in such a short time, and a reminder of exactly why we do what we do.
