Similar futsal courts do not charge refundable deposits; some even offer student rates. For example, one public futsal court in Yuhua does not require a deposit and sets street soccer players back $5 to $20 an hour, depending on the time of use.
SINGAPORE: Chua Chu Kang Town Council’s defence of the hefty $130 charges for residents to be able to play street soccer at a community futsal pitch has sparked continued outrage among Singaporeans, despite a ruling party parliamentarian’s bid to strike a compromise with disgruntled residents.
Some street soccer players told the Chinese daily last week that they have yet to use the pitch given the prohibitive costs – especially since they used to be able to play street soccer in the same area for free, before the renovation. Choa Chu Kang GRC parliamentarian Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim attempted to the defuse the criticism and said last Friday that from July onwards, Keat Hong and CCK Town residents will be able to book the futsal court at The Arena @ Keat Hong for FREE for use on Sundays, 9 am to 3 pm.
