WINTER ACADEMY FUTSAL PROGRAMS
Futsal is FIFA's official indoor soccer game, essentially, a scaled-down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a small-sided game (5v5) played on a smaller field (roughly basketball court-sized) with a smaller (size 3-4) ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries. There are no walls in play. This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play when they are indoors to refine and maintain their control skills and touch.
In Futsal, players are constantly reminded to play the same quality control game that is required for success in the outdoor game. Futsal is the only indoor game sanctioned by FIFA. If skills development is important, Futsal is recognized as clearly the best form of indoor soccer. But that's not the only reason.
- Better Skills Development - Futsal promotes quality touches
- Safer - Futsal eliminates the injuries associated with wall collisions
- Less Expensive - Futsal makes quality soccer more affordable
HOW DOES FUTSAL PROMOTE BETTER TECHNIQUE?
World-famous clubs like Ajax in the Netherlands have used this approach for years. Just watch Futsal players fight to keep the ball from crossing the touchline and you'll immediately begin to see how Futsal develops skill, control, and technique. A small field with lines puts players constantly under pressure from other players and out-of-play boundaries. Players must learn to settle the ball rapidly, chop sharply, shield effectively, pass quickly, and move into space.
