Futsal

Futsal

Futsal is the only form of indoor soccer endorsed by FIFA. It earned the status of FIFA’s official form of indoor soccer in the 1980s as it was recognized as a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, heavier low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls.

This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play to refine and maintain their control skills and touch. It is superior to walled soccer in terms of developing better skills and technique. In traditional American walled soccer, players regularly whack the ball (and sometimes their bodies) against the boards which promotes improper technique and too often rewards errant play. In futsal, players are constantly reminded to play the same quality control game that is required for success in the outdoor game.

Futsal is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, pin-point passing. The small, low bounce futsal ball requires players to hone their ball-striking and ball handling technique. Great professional soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills. 

Futsal is an important part of the RMSA soccer program because it is a natural skill developing game.  The nature of this game, its rules, and the special low-bounce ball enhances player skills as they play. RMSA provides training conducted by experienced Futsal Coaches.  The sessions are intense and fun.
