WHAT IS FUTSAL?
Futsal is small-sided indoor soccer. We typically play 5v5 on basketball courts. We have modified our version to include the use of walls to limit out-of-bounds stoppage time. We have seen immense growth from players who participate in futsal each year. Why? We believe it's directly associated to the amount of touches each player gets during their match. We place a large emphasis on dribbling. Before each match, a coach works with the players for about ten minutes specifically coaching skill moves that they will then be encouraged to use during the game. The players are then placed into two teams and play 24min games, subbing in on 3-minute shifts. Other than subbing and reminders, coaches will try to let the boys play and learn through experience.
