ABOUT FUTSAL
Futsal is played in all the continents of the world by over 100 countries with 12 million players. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, pin-point passing. The small, heavier futsal ball requires players to hone their ball-striking and ball handling technique. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.
Futsal is the only form of indoor soccer endorsed by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). It earned the status of FIFA’s official form of indoor soccer in the 1980s. It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, heavier low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls.
This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play to refine and maintain their control skills and touch. It is superior to walled soccer in terms of developing better skills and technique. In traditional American walled soccer, players regularly whack the ball (and sometimes their bodies) against the boards which promotes improper technique and too often rewards errant play. In futsal, players are constantly reminded to play the same quality control game that is required for success in the outdoor game.
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 frequent touches on the ball.
- Presents many opportunities to score goals.
- Encourages regaining possession of the ball as a productive, fun and rewarding part of the game (defending).
- Maximizes active participation.
- Provides a well organized playing environment with improvised fields.
- Reflects the philosophy of player development expressed in state and national coaching schools.
- Eliminates complicated rules such as off-sides that may hinder youngsters from "playing."
- Reflects the appropriate roll of the coach as a facilitator.
- Recruits beginning and volunteer coaches because of its simplicity.
- Allows the game to be the teacher!
What legends say about Futsal
"During my childhood in Portugal all we played was Futsal. The small playing area helped me improve my close control and whenever I played Futsal I felt free. If it wasn't for Futsal I wouldn't be the player I am today."
Portuguese National Team and Real Madrid legend, Cristiano Ronaldo
"As a little boy in Argentina I played Futsal on the streets and for my club. It was tremendous fun and it really helped me become who I am today."
All-Time Leading Scorer for Argentina and FC Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi
"The technique of Futsal is different to the eleven-a-side version. There are spectacular things you can attempt that you would not dare trying in Football it adds more fun to the discipline."
Renowned French Midfielder and current Head Coach of Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane
A lot of the moves I make originate from futsal. It's played in a very small space, and the ball control is different in futsal. And to this day my ball control is pretty similar to a futsal player's control.
