Why do futsal training?

Futsal is the only form of indoor soccer endorsed by FIFA, and it is now being actively pushed by the US Soccer Federation as a developmental tool in its Academy program. This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play to refine and maintain their control skills and touch. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pinpoint
passing. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills. For many players, it is simply a refreshing alternative to soccer, but one that enhances their soccer skills at the same time.

FutsalNH is the leader in futsal training and league play in NH. Our Directors of Coaching Tom Bellen and Bruno Victal, who do the bulk of the work with the children, have extensive national and international training and experience with futsal, and both are on the USYF Youth National Team Staff.

10 reasons to do futsal training

Rewards

Futsal develops the same basic technique, skills, tactics, and knowledge as the 11v11
outdoor game.

Ball Touches

Players touch the ball 210% more often than with indoor soccer, which increases ball competency.

Ball Control

With limited space, defined touchlines and constant opponent pressure, improved ball control technique and skills are required.

Continuity

Because action is continuous, players must continue the play instead of stopping and watching.

Support Play

To escape from tight situations players must make supporting runs when teammates have the ball.

Speed of Play

Constant opponent pressure and a 4 second restart rule means players play and think fast.

Knowledge

As the action is nonstop the players are able to develop and improve technical and tactical understanding…no kick and run style of play is possible.

Finishing

More opportunities to shoot; and with a smaller goal, players learn to shoot more accurately.

Play Fair

The Laws of the Game encourage playing skillfully and avoiding physical fouls.

Fun

The speed and intensity of the game is great fun for players, coaches, and parents
