What
is Futsal? Ever wondered how some of the world’s most skilful players developed their ability to beat opponents at will? How did players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho, and many others develop the skills that have taken their game to the highest level?
Futsal is the format of Small Sided Football that is recognised and supported by FIFA and UEFA. A host of professional leagues throughout the world have enabled the creation of World and European Championships for club and National Teams. No other sport is experiencing such growth and demand as Futsal, and with further campaigns taking place to introduce Futsal onto the Olympic stage, the sport will soon have global prominence and recognition. Futsal is a five-a-side game, normally played on a slightly larger pitch with smaller-sized goals and a size four ball with a reduced bounce. Playing surfaces used are hard wood floors and smooth surfaces such as Basketball courts . As a small-sided game players are constantly placed in situations where they must receive or play whilst under pressure or in confined spaces. As a game it places considerable demand on technique, movement, tactical awareness and fitness. Already, Futsal has incorporated and assimilated techniques and tactics from other small-sided games. Playing Futsal allows the player to touch the ball nearly 12 times more than playing soccer. Players also learn how to both defend and attack from any position of the pitch. The player benefits are endless.
