Game Day Format - One of the unique things about NAL is that all matches vs. other clubs are held on the same day. Meaning our U13 and U14 teams, and the U15 through U19 teams travel together. Moreover, most of the spring all the teams travel and host as a group. During the Fall season the 13’s and 14’s are travel partners and play all their games on the same days vs the same teams in mostly one location. (Maybe a second location nearby.). During the Winter and Spring season the U13 through U19 are travel partners and play all their games on the same days vs the same teams in mostly one location. (Maybe a second location nearby.) Example - Jaycee park and Schoolcraft. Note the U13/14’s also travel or host for all the games they didn’t play in the spring.
Number of Training – Each team trains three times per week during the fall (U13-U14), winter and spring seasons. These 3 sessions are made up of 2 team sessions and variety of ways make up the 3rd day which include: Technical training, Functional training, small side games, futsal games, WSSL games and video analysis.
Video analysis - Home games are recorded on the club’s Veo video platform and shared directly with players and staff. Games and individual performance can thereby be used as a tool for development.
Winter Futsal League - NAL players from various age groups are intermixed and placed on teams for weekly futsal competition in January and February. The league builds the players’ technical proficiency, enhances the club community, and breeds healthy competition.
