Futsal - it's more than just the game.......

Picture

  • The ball is out of play 8-10% of the time in a small sided game compared to 34% in 11-a-side


HOW DOES FUTSAL HELP YOUNG PLAYERS?
 
•       Ball retention – possession is key in futsal. Players need to be able to keep the ball using good technique and movement
•       Quick play – the small playing area forces quick play. This again requires good technique and movement
•       Passing – futsal develops quick, accurate passing – no margin for error
•       Skillful play – futsal encourages skillful play, either to retain possession or to create a shooting opportunity
•       Confined spaces – everything happens much quicker and there is less margin for error
•       Tactical awareness – futsal is a “whole-team” game. Each player needs to be aware of their own responsibilities
•       Skill acquisition – the increased number of touches on the ball accelerates the learning process
•       Movements – with and without the ball increase significantly in futsal
