What is Futsal? CLICK HERE for more information on the game...
Futsal is a fun, fast indoor version of soccer. Futsal is a small sided game (5v5) played
on a basketball sized court. Unlike other forms of indoor soccer, the field is delimited by
lines, and not boards that players can use to redirect the ball. Futsal is the only "Official
form of Indoor Soccer" approved by FIFA.

Space is limited, sign up earlyWhy Futsal
•
Develops great foot skills with pin-point passing,•
Demands quick reflexes and fast thinking•
Promotes more touches on the ball due to fewer players•
Simulates outdoor soccer on a smaller scale•
Superior to walled soccer in terms of developing skills and technique. In walled soccer,players regularly "whack" the ball (and sometimes bodies) against the walls, promoting
improper technique and often rewarding errant play. In
Futsal, players are constantlyreminded to play the same quality control game required for success in the outdoor game.
•
Emphasizes control under pressure, versus kick and chase, inevitably leads to moreheads-up play.
•
Safer – eliminates injuries associated with wall collisionsFutsal Coach:
