  • Futsal is an exciting and fast-paced small-sided game that is played across the world and is officially recognized by both FIFA and UEFA. It is a 5v5 small-sided game played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls. Futsal places a large emphasis on technical skills in high pressure situations with translate into the outdoor game. This sport is a great skill-developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast decision making and accurate passing. Soccer superstars such as Pele, Ronaldo and Messi grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.

    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.  Futsal is the foundation to this experience and goal because it:

    • Allows players to frequently touch the ball
    • Presents many opportunities to score goals and score goals often
    • Encourages regaining possession of the ball as a productive, fun and rewarding part of the game (defending)
    • Maximizes active participation and minimizes inactivity and boredom
    • Reflects the philosophy of player development expressed in state and national coaching schools
