Futsal is ideal for developing a player's
technical and tactical skills..
Intelligence
Soccer is a very complex game. If we analyze every single game of
its entire recorded history, we will not find two absolutely
identical situations. Futsal is a totally fluid game with very few
preplanned situations, which means a player has to improvise in
order to meet constantly changing circumstances. Futsal is the ideal
medium to develop soccer intelligence.
Technical proficiency
Futsal emphasizes skill rather than crude physical power. The
smaller and heavier ball is a great instrument in promoting
individual technical development.
The number of ball touches a player gets is much
greater than in conventional soccer, allowing the player to develop
faster and more refined foot skills. One touch receiving and passing
are used in wall passes and rotations and these certainly translate
into success in the classic outdoor game.
Total soccer
The small numbers of players in a Futsal team makes it crucial for
all players to defend and attack. There are not predefined positions
which players stick to and get to develop typical defensive or
attacking player mentalities.
This helps players become familiar with all
positions in accordance with modern soccer requirements and creates
the opportunity to solve lots of tactical problems under more
pressure. Players learn not to relax and coast because the game is
in constant transition with teams winning and losing the ball all
the time.
Speed of play
Modern soccer is characterized by its fast pace. In Futsal, because
of the tight space, the ball has to move faster between players'
feet, helping players develop individual and team speed of play.
This in turn forces players to make quicker technical and tactical
decisions and gives them more confidence which they can apply to the
outdoor game.
Fun
Futsal is fast paced and exciting, with players moving all the time
instead of sitting back and waiting for the ball. With the pitch
being so small there are often high scores with many different
players getting the chance to score goals.
Goalkeeper development
Goalkeepers have to be active participants and not be glued to their
goal line. They learn to move with the ball, to keep in line with
the ball and play particular attention to angles. they also learn
how to actively participate in an attack as a fifth player.
