Boomerangs FS is an FFA Accredited Australian Futsal club based in Canberra, ACT. The Boomerangs play in a number of elite leagues including the ACT Premier League, the NSW Premier League and State League and the F-League which is the top tier of Australian Futsal.

ACT Premier League

The Boomerangs enters men's, women's and junior teams into the Capital Football ACT Futsal Premier League each season.

NSW Futsal Leagues

Boomerangs FS played in the Football NSW (FNSW) Premier League for the 2013/2014, 2012/2013 and 2011/2012 seasons, and prior to that for two seasons in the FNSW Super League. For the 2014/2015 season the club had nine teams participating in the FNSW State League. The 2015/2016 season saw the club participated in the FNSW Premier League 2 competition.

The Club has won the Club Championship (which is the culmination of all nine teams results over the season) in the 2010/11 Super League earning promotion to the Premier League, and in 2015/16 in the FNSW Premier League 2 competition, again earning promotion to the Premier League (1) competition for 2016/17.

FFA Futsal Nationals

Boomerangs FS teams represented the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in January 2015 held in Sydney. Teams were represented in 12 Boys (2), 14 Boys, 15 Boys, Youth Men (2) and in 12 Girls, 16 Girls and Youth Women. Both the Youth Men and Youth Women qualified for the Grand Finals with the Youth Men defeating NSW Thunder to become National Champions.

In January 2016, the club again represented the ACT at the Futsal Nationals working in collaboration with Capital Football.

F-League

The Club entered a men's team into the inaugural year of the F-League in 2011, and again competed in that competition in 2012, finishing fourth on the competition table. Boomerangs FS is one of only two teams that has competed in all seasons of the F-League.

In 2013 the Club entered a team in the men's competition, and once again finished in fourth position. A semi-final was played against eventual Grand Final winners Vic Vipers, which the Boomerangs narrowly lost 3-4. The 2014 season saw - for the third season in succession - the men's team again finish fourth, and again be defeated by the eventual Grand Final winners, Dural Warriors in the semi-final.

The Boomerangs also entered a team in the inaugural year of the Women's F-League competition in 2013. The Boomerang's women's team finished second on the league table after fourteen rounds of competition. They won their semi-final over Melbourne Heart, and lost their Grand Final to Sydney Scorpions. In 2014, the Boomerangs women's team finished third on the table and defeated South Brisbane in their semi-final. For the second year in a row they were defeated (this time in a close match 3-2) by the Sydney Scorpions.

The 2015 season saw the Boomerangs again entering teams in both the men's and women's competition. Results for the 2015 season were not up to the level of previous seasons with the men finishing in eight place and the women in sixth - both teams missing the finals series for the first time since they had been instigated.
