How does Futsal promote better skills?
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.
