Futsal vs. Indoor Soccer vs. Large Field Soccer
How Does Futsal Promote Better Technique?

 

Just watch futsal players fight to keep the ball from crossing the touchline and you’ll immediately begin to see how futsal develops skill, control, and technique.

 

A small field with lines puts players constantly under pressure from other players and out-of-play boundaries. Players must learn to settle the ball rapidly, cut sharply, shield effectively, pass quickly and move into space. 


 

Compared to walled soccer or large indoor field soccer, futsal places a greater premium on ball control.

 

There is no reward for uncontrolled passes or misdirected shots because the other team gains possession of the ball. There is no incentive to ’kick and run’ because the field is too small and packed with players. Players with the ball must use proper technique to maintain control and must seek out other players in space. Players without the ball must move to ’open’ space and must truly support their teammates. 


 

With futsal, the emphasis is clearly on control and technique. Without control and technique you cannot expect to succeed in futsal. And, if players are to be more successful in the competitive arena, it is clear that we must better train and prepare our youth on proper technique.
