FUTSAL

The Brazilian way to develop soccer skills

Why FUTSAL ?

The priority in Futsal is to motivate players in an environment that is conducive to learning. The more pleasure kids derive from their participation, the more they wish to play and practice on their own. While their instinct to play is natural, their affection and appreciation for soccer must be cultivated. Futsal is the foundation to such goals because it:

  • Allows players to frequently touch the one “toy” on the field, namely, the ball.
  • Presents many opportunities to score goals and score goals often.
  • Encourages regaining possession of the ball as a productive, fun and rewarding part of the game (defending).
  • Maximizes active participation and minimizes inactivity and boredom.
  • Eliminates complicated rules such as off-sides that may hinder youngsters from “playing”.

Reasons why youth players should play Futsal

Futsal is so different than the outdoor game. It is so much faster and every player playing gets involved in the action.

The number of touches, quick decisions making situations, technical skill needed to get out of small spaces, playing under pressure and speed of play to name a few.

The dynamics of the outdoor are all part of Futsal: the importance of technical, tactical, IQ are all important.

Since the game of Futsal is played in smaller dimensions than the outdoor game and with only five players including a goalie on the court at a time, playing futsal requires players to have quick decision making, creativity, and constant movement.

In 45 minutes of soccer, a player may only touch the ball a few times. It can even be a bit boring for a young player to not have more touches on the ball. In futsal, five minutes never goes by without a player touching the ball.

The space is small, and passing accuracy is extremely important as there is not a lot of areas to run on to the ball. This is a skill that can improve quickly in futsal.

Futsal really builds confidence. When players repeatedly receive the ball and pass under pressure, their decision-making in 1v1 situations improves and so do their ball skills.
