HONIARA Futsal Coach Peter Sada says he wants to see his boys included in the National Futsal Squad.

In an interview with Star Sports yesterday afternoon, the Futsal School of Excellence coach said his students have the talents and potential to be in the national team.

“Seeing more potential futsal players enrolling in this school of excellence is encouraging,” he said.

So far, Sada said he is very pleased because two of his students have been selected to join the Kurukuru national team.

“And I would like to see more of my students selected into the national squad in the future.”

Sada said his boys train every Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays after school.

He pointed out one of the challenges facing their trainings was lack of additional support from an assistant coach.

“Currently, we do not have a full time assistant coach and it’s quite challenging having to train the increasing number of interested players at this tight schedule,” he said.

Sada hopes an assistance coach is identified and selected to assist him with coaching.

Futsal falls in three categories – Under-11/12, Under-14 and Under-16.

“Considering my students’ performances, I have a strong feeling they will one day make it to the national side and represent the country internationally,” he said.

Currently, the main focus of training was to select a squad that will represent the country in the Australian championship, which was usually hosted in Sydney.

“It is an annual event. Therefore, I hoped most of my boys will be selected and make it to the final squad for next year’s competition,” he said.
