Does anyone know where I can go to see a futsal game in Holland?

Futsal is 5 a side indoor football with a smaller/heavier ball and it is almost non contact. The emphasis is on skill and speed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futsal

Brazilian Falcao is considered one of the best in the world. He singed a 6months contract with Brazilian primer league team as a winger but wasnt any good:

Portuguese player Ricardinho:

and then there are loads of Dutch guys:

I think most of this is in Rotterdam.

Then there is freestyle football which started in Holland

Brit users might know Jeremy Lynch and Billy Wingrove from tv/media.
There is a big Dutch scene fronted by a crew called soccershowdown


In the summer I've seen groups of freestylers busking at Lidesplien but thats about it. Where can I see more? I know its kind of a long shot but any help is appricated. Cheers.
