Why Futsal?
Futsal is a fast-paced version of soccer played on a smaller, hard court with a heavier ball — perfect for improving skills, control, and quick decision-making. It’s a self-teaching, high-energy game that challenges players to think fast and play smart.

Summer Impact
Summer Nights Futsal turned local courts into hubs of activity, joy, and opportunity. Between July 7 and August 14, 20 Lawrence teens and young adults delivered 152 hours of programming across 26 evenings, engaging over 200 Lawrence youth — proving that leadership and play go hand in hand.
“Ending the day kicking the ball around with your friends and playing the game we all love — there’s nothing better.”
– Summer Coach Mentor, Babak Bhaktiari
Winter Impact
Our 10-week indoor futsal season welcomed 334 youth and teens, representing a 12% increase from the previous year. Thanks to Coach Mentors like former players Noe, Steven, and Isabella, participants not only honed their skills but also learned valuable lessons in leadership and teamwork.
“I like to coach the kids because I want them to have a great experience like I did when I played back in the day with Beyond.”

About Futsal at Beyond Soccer
When Lawrence kids lost access to indoor play in 2018, Beyond Soccer made a promise — never again. By 2019, we opened our first indoor “Sports & Wellness Hub” at the former Malden Mills, transforming 9,000 square feet into a dynamic futsal, basketball, and volleyball space.
Although the pandemic forced us to close that location, the vision never stopped. We adapted — bringing futsal back outdoors and into gyms across Lawrence in creative, community-driven ways. Today, Beyond Soccer’s off-season futsal programs run year-round, giving hundreds of players a safe, positive place to stay active, grow their skills, and connect with mentors.
Partners & Community
Beyond Soccer proudly partners with the Essex County Youth Futsal League (ECYFL) and the Lawrence YWCA, expanding access to quality indoor competition and connecting Lawrence youth with peers from surrounding communities. These collaborations help break down barriers, build confidence, and keep kids playing through every season.
We’re still searching for a new permanent indoor home for our original court — and we can’t wait to grow the next generation of futsal leaders there.
