September of this year,
under the direction of Pon-
cho Melo, is forming a sec-
ond team. The club was
established to meet the
demand for competitive
youth soccer in Huron
County. Currently, Huron FC
has a U14 boys Futsal team,
now it will expand to include
U12 and will also train U10
players in Huron County.
"This is a great opportu-
nity for the youth in our
county who want to play
more competitively in the
winter and prepare for the
summer season," said Annie
Sparling, manager of the
Huron FC.
Also, the two teams would
not be possible without the
leadership of Poncho Melo, a
business owner in Goderich
and resident of Clinton who
played soccer professionally
in Mexico.
"Poncho Melo has exten-
sive experience in coaching
and training, which makes
the opportunity for our boys
even more exceptional,"
Sparling adds.
Futsal is a form of indoor
soccer that is played in a gym,
the nets are smaller than in
outdoor, the ball is heavier
and the rules slightly different.
This form of indoor soccer is
considered one of the best
ways to develop players for the
outdoor game. Futsal is a fast
paced sport emphasizing ball
control, passing and
teamwork.
Huron FC is part of the Lon-
don Canadian Futsal League
and trains locally with players
hailing from Seaforth, Blyth,
Brussels and Goderich.
