FUTSAL
WHAT IS FUTSAL?
Futsal is a dynamic, fast-paced 5-a-side game played on a hard surface (such as a basketball court) using a low-bounce ball. Unlike traditional indoor soccer, futsal is played without walls, challenging players to keep tight control of the ball, make quick decisions, and adapt to different positions on the field. With its emphasis on skill, speed, and creativity, futsal is a fantastic way for players to develop technical abilities in a high-pressure environment.
RONALDO ON FUTSAL
"During my childhood in Portugal all we played was futsal."
MESSI ON FUTSAL
"Futsal was tremendous fun and helped me become who I am today."
A GROWING SPORT
Futsal is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, ranked among the Top 5. The launch of the Professional Futsal League (PFL) in 2018 has helped accelerate the sport’s growth, and the number of youth futsal players is expected to rise exponentially in the coming years. As the sport gains momentum, more young athletes are discovering the benefits of futsal and its role in developing world-class soccer skills.
THE BENEFITS OF PLAYING FUTSAL
-
Closer Ball Control: The heavier futsal ball supports better ball control and manipulation, helping players develop essential technical skills.
-
Increased Touch Frequency: Players touch the ball six times more often in futsal compared to traditional 11-a-side soccer, giving them more opportunities to improve their skills.
-
Playing Under Pressure: With constant pressure from opponents, futsal teaches players how to stay calm and confident, improving their ability to receive passes and make decisions in tight spaces.
-
Ball Retention: Futsal emphasizes the importance of maintaining possession, as players must manage the risk of a quick counter-attack. This develops strong decision-making and situational awareness.
-
Creativity and Innovation: The small-sided nature of futsal encourages players to think creatively, find space, and make quick decisions to break down defenses. Movement and rotation are key, promoting both individual creativity and team collaboration.
