SPORTING SALISBURY
GET KICKING
AT FUTSAL
CHILDREN between the ages of five and 12 years old are
being given the opportunity to participate in the Kick Start
Futsal program in the City of Salisbury.
Kick Start is an introductory program giving young children a fun taste of what Futsal is all
about. Children will have the opportunity to learn some skills of the game in a non-competitive
environment, whilst having fun.
A form of indoor soccer, with five players per team, the ball is smaller in size and heavier, which
reduces its bounce. Futsal is the only form of ‘indoor soccer’ or ‘five-a-side’ that is officially
approved by FIFA and Football Federation Australia (FFA). One of the fastest growing sports in the
world, Futsal is played in over 100 countries and boasts millions of players around the world.

COUNCIL SUPPORTS SPORTING CLUBS
THE City of Salisbury has been working closely with local community clubs
and organisations to support them to be more sustainable through a variety of
initiatives aimed at reducing operating costs.
Council introduced a new Club Fee Policy
and broadened sponsorship opportunities
to assist both community clubs and
organisations when it comes to paying the
bills. Alongside this, Council is also installing
solar panels to a number of community
facilities to help reduce energy costs.
The City of Salisbury is working hand-inhand with many organisations to support
them wherever possible so that in the tough
economic climate, they remain sustainable
and continue to provide opportunities for the
community in terms of sport and recreation.
“The City of Salisbury is committed to
supporting its local clubs and organisations
to ensure they continue for the benefit of
the local community,” said Gillian Aldridge,
Mayor of Salisbury. “We want them to be
viable long into the future and are doing
what we can to support them in reducing
their costs, as well as revitalising buildings
to bring them up-to-date.”
The Club Fee Policy review:
• Reduces the impact of the costs of
capital upgrades;
• Simplifies the method of calculating fees;
• Provides greater transparency with fee
calculations;
• Enables greater equity in the way fees
are charged;
• Stabilises the fees charged to clubs; and
• Addresses resource implications to
Council.
