WHAT IS FUTSAL
Futsal is 5 v 5 soccer played indoors on
a hard court or turf. It is a fast paced game
with no sidewalls and is recognized as the "Worlds
Indoor Game" by FIFA. It is played all over
the world, from Europe, Asia, South America, Africa,
Central America and North America.
"Futsal" is derived from the Spanish, "futbol
sala", which means indoor soccer.
Brazilian Mens World Cup superstars such as Pele,
Ronaldo, Zico, Bebeto, Socrates and
Brazilian Women's superstars like, Katia.
Roseli, Pretinha and Sissi
played futsal in their home country before going on
to star on the world stage in the World Cup.
Played with a goalie protecting a smaller
than outdoor goal and 4 field players, totaling 5
on the field, futsals greatest gifts are teaching
the proper time, space and skill needed to excel at
the outdoor game. Just look at the style and
grace that the Brazilians play with on the outdoor
field. FIFA player of the year Ronaldo
played futsal until he was 16, and Zico
credits futsal as being the teaching force behind
his magical play.
This fast paced game is played all
around the world with a special low bounce futsal
ball, a 10 foot wide and 7 foot high goal, the basic
rules of outdoor soccer, and free substitution on
the fly (like hockey) to allow for fast play and lots
of play time.
