Boomerangs FS Victorious!
Boomerangs FS - king of the mountain. Great stuff!
The Boomerangs FS contested several Grand Finals of the NSW Supa League Futsal Championships. Season 2010 / 2011 has been a fantastic journey for all the Boomerangs teams and parents.
The Grand Finals were contested yesterday and the Boomerangs FS were victorious in the following grades:
- Under 14 Boys
- Under 14 Girls
- Under 16 Boys
- Youth Mens
I cannot emphasise just how significant the scope of the Boomerangs FS competitive efforts have been this season. All nine teams into the finals, won the Club Championship, had more of their teams in fianls than any other single club, were victorious in four Grand Finals and now are most likely to be eleveated to the top futsal competitive level in NSW (and there is none better in Australia). Wow!
Please, tell me one football or futsal achievement in recent years that comes close to the scope of this competitive effort by any ACT Club or representative program.
The Boomerangs FS was and is all about giving our young Futsal players a chance to be challenged at a higher level of Futsal. The Boomerangs FS underpinning philosophy was spot on, right from the start, the players responded and the rest speaks for itself.
The Boomerangs FS have demonstrated beyond any doubt that our young players, boys and girls, young men and women can compete effectively in the highly comeptitive competition run in metropolitan NSW.
The most remarkable thing about the success of the Boomernags FS is that it is the energy and determination of two local people (Senatore and Collins), together with parents and players who rose to the challenge, to whom all praise must go. This was not a Captial Football inspired or underwritten venture and the CF Futsal Standing COmmittee is nowhere to sighted. So it can be done!
Next season, it is most likely that Boomerangs FS will be elevated to the NSW Premier League. The competitive bar will be lifted again.
Boomerangs FS is the place to be for the best Futsal on offer in the ACT. Get in contact with them for the next season. Its never too early.
Images provided by Boomerangs FS parents - many thanks.

If You Want Something Done In The ACT - Start Demanding More of Capital Football and the FFA! - And Be Prepared to Do Something About It Yourself
This program was broadcast on 2xxfm (98.3mhz), across the Asutralian Community Radio Network on Tuesday 15 Febriary 2011 at 7:00PM.
Tonight’s program begins with the Boomerangs FS, that Canberra Futsal Club that is campaigning so successfully in the NSW Futsal Supa League. They have won the club championship, got all 9 teams in the final series and have 4 teams in the Grand Finals this weekend in Sydney.
Boomerangs FS is the best futsal experience for players and families in the ACT, including probably the Nationals. The esprit de corps among the players of all ages and parents is fantastic. The remarkable thing is that Capital Football nor the Futsal Standing Committee had anything worth recording, to do with this most substantial achievement in Futsal in the ACT in many years. Makes you think!
Boomerangs FS is a private initiative by two football / futsal people. They simply took matters into their own hands and demonstrated to all that where there is a will there is a way. We need more of this in ACT Football and Futsal.
Boomerangs FS are now probably one of the most available and rewarding marketing opportunities for business in the ACT, among all our sports clubs / teams in the ACT. Sponsors take note and contact the Boomerangs, you will not be disappointed.
Tonights theme – getting off your backside, demanding more, much more of our peak body Capital Football, doing a little more where you can for the Club your child plays for or the one you support, getting to games, putting your hand in your pocket for a few dollars to help the clubs help young players.
Importantly, make your voice heard with your local MLA and ensure the ACT Government take our very, very large Football / Futsal constituency seriously. You should do it because we are not getting anywhere near enough raw, uncompromising effort from the CF Board. When was the last time you saw some fire and brimstone in support of Football on the CF website, or the CF Board giving a press conference to push the future needs of Football or Futsal in the ACT? We are so meek and mild we at present just what we deserve from the ACT Government. It’s as embarrassing as it is crippling for our game(s).
Capital Football’s strategic document is called “Going For Goals”. How many big ones have we kicked this year and did it factor in the possibility that the ACT Government would liberate $26 million over ten years? Did they go hunting for it? Now that is one big "own goal" for sure. The failure of the “A League For Canberra” bid, a study in betrayal by the FFA, only served to lead the ACT Government towards AFL.
We want something akin to the $26 million over ten years the Minister shelled out to the AFL for a new AFL franchise club in western Sydney, a place where the FFA failed to mobilise a very much larger Football and Futsal constituency. Rest assured the AFL will be in Canberra in force, because they are real good at mobilising AFL clubs to make connections with communities. We haven’t got an A league Club that reckons we are worth the effort.
Very recently, the SBS World Game began a Community Forum in Sydney, one of a number they intend to conduct around Australia. ( http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/videos/18/Experts ) They started in Sydney, the subjects revolved around the A league problems. I have selected some of Craig Foster’s comments to illustrate the underlying issues in our football community. He makes a lot of sense, oozes passion for the game, doesn't "admire" problems and tells it just the way he sees it. Doesn't get any better. And thank goodness for the SBS World Game! You can translate the same themes Foster speaks on in this forum to our ACT Football environment. The key word is “community”. I am still knocked out by Fosters project to establish the Asia Pacific Football Institute, which he makes mention of in the forum.
I hope the SBS World Game forum comes to the Canberra. We need a “forum”. We are the most disabused Football community by the FFA in Australia. I reckon our forum would make fantastic television.
When was the last time you attended a community consultation run by Capital Football? I can tell you - when the CEO and Technical Director of the day lauched the new HPP. It was probably the best thing they did on that subject, then the CF Board got involved. I guess that would dampen anyone's enthusiasm.
When did either Mens’ , Women’s’, Junior Football or Futsal standing committees hold public forums to discuss the game in the ACT?
We should do it. Why don’t the Zone Reps get it organised and invited the CF Board to attend? I’m not fussed about the format as long as the public can attend and participate. What are they scared of??
The CF Board’s response to the Ron Smith HPP review should be explained and discussed with the football community and not at arm’s length through the new Technical Director, Club or Zone reps. The report is now available on the CF Website in the “Library” section, but nothing else.
We just seem to be going not much of anywhere in the bigger picture in either Football or Futsal in the ACT. We are doing what we have always done, which in some respects is fine, but not the full story, surely?
The CF AGM will be held shortly and some Board positions will spill (3). Time people who are not happy at the present time (and there are plenty of them in all the Clubs) got moving and looking for alternative candidates among the many smart and enterprising people in the football community.

Boomerangs FS Lead the Way in the NSW Futsal Super League
The ACT based Boomerangs FS is the only Futsal or Football team from the ACT competing in higher level competition within Football NSW - in this case the Football NSW's Futsal Super League.
Go to this link http://www.boomerangsfs.com.au/
Boomerangs FS has established a solid pathway beyond the ACT into a higher level of week to week competition for our serious Futsal players, than is possible is the ACT competitions. In doing so, the Boomerangs FS make a tremdous contribution to the technical and competitive development of our young players. The follow on effect is enable many of our players to become more competitive at the FFA Futsal Nationals.
Boomerangs FS is a first rate piece of work by local Futsal and Football people - Eddie Senatore and Kristian Collins. They don't just talk about doing something - they have done it! More power to both of them and to the parents and players that comprise Bommerangs FS. The Boomerangs FS are further supported by a solid group of Futsal coaches, a number of whom coach ACT age teams at the FFA Futsal Nationals.
When they play in Canberra its a gala day of Futsal and well worth the time to go and watch. They play on the international size courts, which is just fantastic.
If we put our minds to it, we can bridge this dreadful Football and Futsal development gap in the ACT. No sense in just "admiring the problem"!
This is the current standing for the Boomerangs FS in the NSW Super League. Very impressive and only their second year at this level of competition. If they secure first place in the Club Championship, Boomerangs FS will be elevated to the prestigious NSW Premier League. Now what keen young Futsal player wouldn't want to be part of that experience? Wow!

Boomerangs Futsal Is Getting Ready For The 2010 /11 Season In The NSW Super League
Boomerangs FS is an ACT Futsal Club that competes in the NSW Super League competition. It is the only ACT Futsal club that offers players the opportunity to play at a level of competition greater than anything generally available in season in the ACT. Playing for the Boomerangs works in well with your local Futsal team and competition.
The Boomerangs first season was last year and the results were outstanding. The team in the picture above won the Championship - an outstanding result. Look for previous posts on this blog for interviews. Very interesting.
If you want to play good Futsal - there is no better place to be than the Boomerangs FS.
The NSW Futsal competition is strong. NSW dominates the Futsal Nationals. The players of all ages that joined the Boomerangs got a priceless opportunity to play against many of the best in NSW. Many of the Boomerangs players were selected in the ACT boys and girls teams to contest the Australian Futsal Nationals held in Canberra in early January each year. The reason for their selection is simple - they became match hardened, a good deal more astute in the way they played the game and of course developed their individual skills. Many of the players replicated their success in Futsal with selection in the ACT age football teams to contest the National Junior Championships in 2010.
Futsal and Football are different. But Futsal brings great benefits to Football. Its not hard to pick good Futsal players in a football game - they are usually so comfortable on the ball, able to make quick decisions, know the value of fast transition in play.
Boomerangs Futsal provides a unique opportunity for ACT players to play good futsal. This is a step up from the local competition. No one else in ACT Futsal provides this opportunity for our players. Football Clubs crave this opportunity for Football but do not have it. Only Futsal has it - with the Boomerangs!
Try out for Boomernags FS, you will not be disappointed. Read on for the information from Boomerangs FS.
