“It’s really going to be one massive season ahead with plenty of competition across all age groups,” Futsal Geelong said in an official memorandum on Monday.

“Some age groups/leagues/days are now at capacity and we are now looking at options to make new days/times available for those age groups or divisions that have already reached capacity yet interest continues to build.

“For teams that have completed and paid their teams registration for the 2017-18, you will be about to commence trial/grading games - you will be notified of game times via email so ensure you keep an eye out for these.

“For teams that have not yet registered their interest in getting a team in the Summer Futsal League, there is still time.
