Winter Programs

Futsal and Winter Training for rec and travel players.

When the New Hampshire winter sets in, BAC keeps players on the ball right here in Bedford. Futsal and Winter Training are open to rec and travel players in the age groups listed below, and you can sign up for one session or both. Travel Futsal is new for 2027 and just for current travel players. Full details for each program are below.

Futsal

For rec and travel players, PreK through 4th grade. Futsal is one of the best ways a young player can develop. It’s played on a gym floor with a smaller, heavier ball that doesn’t bounce much, which rewards close control, quick decisions and creativity in tight spaces. Players touch the ball far more often than outdoors.

Our sessions are technical and focused on individual skill, and every one ends with small-sided 1v1 and 2v2 games.

Where: Memorial Elementary School Gym, 55 Old Bedford Road, Bedford

When: Saturdays. Session 1 (2026): November 7, 14, 21 and December 5, 12, 19. Session 2 (2027): January 9, 16, 23, 30 and February 6, 13. February 20 and 27 are held as makeup dates.

Times: PreK 9:00 AM, Kindergarten 10:00 AM, 1st and 2nd grade 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM, 3rd and 4th grade 1:00 PM

Cost: $125 per six-week session, or $200 for both sessions when paid in advance.

Bring: sneakers only, no cleats. Futsal balls are provided.

Each time slot is capped at 15 players, first come, first served. Once a slot fills, you can join its waitlist.

More Touches

A small court means far more touches per session than the outdoor game, so skills build faster.

Close Control

A smaller, heavier ball in tight spaces sharpens first touch, ball control and dribbling.

Faster Decisions

Less time and space means quicker thinking and better decisions under pressure.

Where Stars Begin

Messi, Ronaldinho and Iniesta all grew up playing futsal.

Winter Training

For rec and travel players, U7 through U15. Winter Training runs on the indoor turf at the NH Sportsplex in Bedford, on larger indoor fields with regular balls. It’s the simplest way to keep playing close to home over the winter and show up ready for spring.

The first session focuses on individual skill with small-sided games. The second shifts to team play: passing, shape and getting ready for the spring season.

Who: U7 through U15 for the 2026-27 season (born August 2011 through July 2020), rec and travel.

Where: NH Sportsplex, Building #1 (the front building), 68 Technology Drive, Bedford

When: Tuesdays, 5:00 to 6:00 PM. Session 1: January 5 to February 9, 2027. Session 2: February 16 to March 30, 2027 (no session February 23, school vacation week).

Cost: $110 per six-week session, or $200 for both sessions when paid in advance.

Each session is capped at 100 players. Register for one session or both. Once a session fills, you can join its waitlist.

Travel Futsal

New for 2027 and just for current BAC travel players. Travel Futsal is a four-week session on the court at the NH Sportsplex on Wednesday evenings in March. It runs alongside Winter Training, so players can do both. We’re piloting it this season.

Who: Current BAC travel players, U8 through U15, grouped by age.

Where: NH Sportsplex, Back Building, Sportsplex Court, 68 Technology Drive, Bedford

When: Wednesdays, March 3, 10, 17 and 24, 2027. One-hour sessions by age group between 4:30 and 8:30 PM.

Cost: $100 per player.

Bring: sneakers or futsal shoes, no cleats. Futsal balls are provided.

Registration: Travel families will get the registration link directly from the Travel Program later this winter. It won’t be posted here. Space is limited to 15 players per time slot.
