Futsal is a fun, fast and exciting form of five-a-side football that is taking the country by storm as more and more football players, coaches, clubs and associations discover the unique and positive qualities of futsal.  Futsal is a game played world wide and many professional footballers began their youth football playing futsal. 

Futsal is a small-sided game (5v5 including the goalkeeper) that is played in quality indoor venues with low impact surfaces.  The ball is a specially weighted ball which provides low bounce encouraging players to use their skill to pass, move and kick the ball without the use of nets.

Futsal develops the overall fundamentals of football more effectively.  It is a fast paced game where players develop quicker reflexes, are required to make faster decisions and  making and pinpoint passes. Futsal is a superior game in terms of establishing a players touch and technique.   With the game rapidly moving between attack and defense it is ideal for players to understand the importance of quick transition between these main football moments. 

One touch passing is essential in maintaining ball possession on a smaller court.  Therefore an individual's overall ball handling skills and off-the-ball movement are enhanced considerably.  A player's split second thinking improves automatically as one learns how to maintain possession and distribute the ball quickly.  Dribbling with the ball requires great control and skill as space and time is limited.  This is where players can be creative using various skills to beat an opponent.  Futsal is also a game where shots can be constant and this is great for the goalkeeper who is always invloved in the game. 

One of the beauties of Futsal is it can be played by anyone even if you have never played Football before.  Futsal is a great way to get or keep fit while having fun with mates and meeting new people.
