Ottawa Fury FC, a small club in Eastern Ontario, has implemented an innovative approach to youth soccer development through its Street Futsal League, a high-tempo, co-ed program that combines elements of futsal and traditional soccer. With a focus on fun and skill development, the league has seen remarkable success, with near 100% participation rates and an average of over 7 goals per game. The program's unique format, which involves randomly assigned teams and minimal coaching, has been a key factor in its success. By providing a second night of training for core players during the winter months, the Street Futsal League has helped to keep players engaged and motivated. The program's emphasis on fun and skill development has made it a model for other clubs to follow.
