Indoor soccer, played with an indoor futsal ball.

Formerly known as futbolito, summer/winter turf is played indoors where players will receive lots of touches on the ball, with games being fast, fun and high scoring. Games are 5v5, with every team having 4 field players and a goalie. The goals are full-size futsal goals for all age groups, to allow for even more scoring.

  8. Where are games played? Each Futbolito season, Newark FC must negotiate the use of public school facilities in Newark and Fremont to host their Futbolito Season. As a result, the gymnasium locations are subject to change. We’ve used the following facilities in the past: Walters Junior High, Centerville Junior High, Mattos Elementary, and Mel Nunes Turf Field.
