ABOUT FUTSAL
Futsal is a small-sided soccer game (5v5) with goalkeepers played on a hard surface the size of a basketball court. The format encourages players to develop their ability to cope under pressure and in tight spaces while learning to play quicker. Modified soccer balls with less bounce are used and the surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces. The game of futsal provides many benefits for developing players, including:
- Improves decision making and spatial areas
- Improves speed of play
- Improves transition from defense to attack and attack to defense
- Improves creativity
- Increases contact with the ball and shots on goal
- Favors dynamic playing system and rotation of playing positions
- Motivates and involves all players
