There is a new sport in town! The city is excited to announce the opening of the Madison Park Futsal Courts. Former tennis courts have been repurposed for futsal by adding a rubberized coating designed to create two futsal courts.
Futsal is a game of fast-paced soccer, played with a smaller soccer ball, on a smaller court, and with smaller goals. Some of the best soccer players in the world attribute their amazing foot skills to the many hours spent on futsal courts.
Sunday, July 30 between 2:30 p.m. and 4:45 p.m., a free futsal program will be available for ages 9 and up. Following the open play period Lakewood High School players will play an exhibition match. Interested players should arrive at the Madison Park Pavilion at 2:00 p.m. to register and sign a waiver. This preview is presented by the Lakewood High School Men’s Soccer program.
