Welcome to Ginga Futsal Academy

At Ginga Futsal Academy, we bring the heart of Brazilian Futsal to Tauranga. Our academy is inspired by the Brazilian term "Ginga" (pronounced "Jinga")–

In Futsal, "ginga" refers to a style of movement characterized by fluidity, rhythm, and improvisation. It involves deceptive footwork, feints, and quick changes in direction, allowing players to maneuver around opponents with agility and flair. This movement is heavily influenced by Brazilian culture, creating the foundations of the beautiful game.
