Futsal Ballarat was named 2023 Futsal Centre of the Year at the FVCIB Full-Time Luncheon on Thursday, November 16 as part of the 2023 Football Victoria Community Awards.
Futsal is not just simply a game but an art form - a fast-paced environment that requires exceptional control, quick thinking, and unparalleled teamwork – much like the winner of our Futsal Centre of the Year Award for 2023 – Futsal Ballarat.
Andrew Burgess, Director of Futsal Ballarat said it was "brilliant" to be recognised for their efforts.
"Futsal is an integral part of the football community and the opportunity to represent that at an event like this is great." he said.
"To see our work recognised by the wider football community is a great step forward."
Fellow Director, Dermott Tebb was equally pleased to receive the award on behalf of Futsal Ballarat.
"It's great to get recognition from Football Victoria for all the work we have put in from a variety of different people and good recognition for the club to keep doing what we are doing," he added.
"We can offer opportunities for everyone to play the game from little kids to adults and people with disabilities, anyone that wants to play."
Futsal Ballarat has had a 14-year relationship with Football Victoria, growing to over 1,000 participants by delivering a high-quality and diverse futsal experience within the community. Well done on all your hard work and dedication.
"Futsal Ballarat means everything, it is a great breeding ground for futsal players and football players," Burgess concluded.
"It is a real integral part of the product and program that football has and we really want to see it grow and strive forward."
