Futsal

Futsal is a five-a-side game, normally played on a flat indoor pitch with hockey sized goals and a size 4 Futsal ball with a reduced bounce. It is played to touchlines and all players are free to enter the penalty area and play the ball over head-height. Games are 20 minutes per half with time-outs permitted. The nature of the game places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure and is subsequently an excellent breeding ground for football competencies that can be translated into the 11-a-side format of the game.
