Introduction Since @Futsal created and launched the first study programme featuring Futsal in the UK, we have continuously invested more in the development of these programmes than any other organisation in the UK, with a view of providing opportunities for our education partners and young people. We are delighted to invite you to join the rapidly growing list of Colleges and Academies across the UK that are participating in the official Futsal Academy programme, that we are delivering in collaboration with the Association of Colleges Sport. Learning is at the heart of all that we do and @Futsal this is no exception. Right from the outset we learnt that our pioneering Futsal operations needed to provide communities and not just elite groups, with an end-to-end experience that recognised our changing lifestyles and the ways in which we want to Learn, Train, Play and Work. @Futsal Group is the UK’s leading operator of FIFA’s only approved form of indoor small-sided football, which is called Futsal, and all associated sports study programmes. We are totally focused on providing our national arenas, learning platforms and resources to help our education partners and young people to achieve high levels of success. Colleges and Academies looking to open new student markets Students aiming for a career or higher education in the leisure or sports sector

Recognised by FIFA, UEFA and the FA as the international standard for small-sided football. The sport boasts over 30 million players worldwide; with major events such as a World Cup and UEFA Futsal Cup.

“Setting up the Futsal Academy has been a great addition to our curriculum. The course really stands out in our offering and has certainly helped in recruiting a new profile of learner with an interest in futsal and football.”
“The Futsal league has been an amazing opportunity for our students. Until we had this league it was difficult for us to find regular games and give our students the full Futsal Academy experience.”

A typical Futsal Academy has 16 learners that are based at the college or academy, but receiving a very unique enrichment. Education takes place at your facility, with students studying via our bespoke virtual learning environment (VLE) called Inspire. This contains all of their learning material, assessments and also the world’s first Futsal Coaching Syllabus. Alternatively, we have provided options for those institutions that would prefer to use their own teaching resources or systems, but would like to have access to the full Futsal experience. During the week, the Futsal scholars are studying with Inspire, training from the Futsal coaching syllabus and preparing for their upcoming fixtures in the NCA Futsal league competitions at our unique Futsal arenas. This approach allows both tutors and coaches to focus on their students’ individual needs; therefore better preparing them for their next steps. In addition to the academic course, each student in a Futsal Academy receives a FREE place on the FA Coaching Futsal Level 1 qualification. We also include 2 FREE places for college or academy teaching staff.

Providing such comprehensive experiences are now key to attracting and engaging learners, and to encourage them to achieve their full potential throughout their study programme. It is likely that learners joining a level 1 programme will stay in their Futsal Academy until they complete a higher level qualification. A Futsal Academy can cater for groups of all sizes and abilities, and by using the Inspire platform, mixed groups can be taught at the same time and by the same tutor. What’s more, our library of courses is constantly expanding; so if there’s a course that you would like to run then simply let us know...

TUTOR, COACH & PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT SUPPORT Each Futsal Academy is provided with ongoing tutor and coach support through regular CPD workshops, help desk and on-line support. Our Tutor Support Team (TST) regularly visit our education partners to provide on-the-job mentoring, training, support with Inspire to ensure your staff and students receive the best possible experience. Every Academy is attached to one of our world-class Futsal arena hubs for practical coaching and game support for your coach educators. Because we “really do� deliver Futsal competitions on a national basis, our pro-coaches are well versed and ready to assist any of your coaching team with practical hands-on support. This includes delivering master class sessions at your facilities through to tips on coaching Futsal. We assign an @Futsal key account manager (KAM) for every Academy programme. Our KAMs will have regular contact with your representatives to ensure that all elements of the Academy programme are being fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Futsal scholars and our partnership. Our KAMs will arrange monthly management meetings and will provide a regular performance report. In addition the KAM, will arrange two Joint Executive Meetings each year that will involve senior executives from our respective organisations.
A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP At the heart of every Futsal Academy is a sound financial model that has been developed in collaboration with members of the AoC. This enables our Futsal Academy partners to retain a healthy proportion of their study programme funding for running the course as an in-house operation with a sustainable internal rate of return. We have developed a financial model that shows a college or academy can run a Futsal Academy funded from just 20% of their EFA funding, whilst still retaining a 30% contribution after allowing for a 50% cost profile for running the course. Each education partner that joins our programme is invited to enter into a 2-way service level agreement (SLA) that is fully compliant with the EFA sub contracting guidelines. We have worked closely with the EFA to ensure that they are fully aware of the @Futsal programmes. This ensures that we can form strategic partnerships with our education partners that are open-book, transparent and that can lead to far wider joint venture opportunities beyond the core programme. We have created a Futsal Academy programme that combines a modern business approach with leading colleges and academies on a national basis, to provide high quality education that is fully aligned with the requirements of a modern study programme.
COLLEGE / ACADEMY REQUIREMENTS To deliver a Futsal Academy, education partners will be responsible for the following: • Regional student recruitment (with full support from @Futsal). • Student registration and enrolment with awarding & funding bodies. • Teaching facility for a min of 12 hours per week. • Indoor training facilities for a min of 4 hours per week. • High speed internet access and computers for each individual learner. • Qualified coaches and tutors for all delivery hours*. • Transport to regional Futsal arena hubs for match day. •Management of team on match days. • Attendance at CPD workshops. Teaching and pro-coaching *services can be provided by @Futsal as an optional service
