What is Futsal?
Futsal (also known as fútsal or footsal) is a variant of soccer played on a hard court, smaller than a standard football pitch, and mainly indoors.
With a very specific and unique set of rules, Futsal is designed to encourage fast and exciting soccer that develops a players technical skill set and decision making.
There are many opinions on what makes Futsal, Futsal, but at its heart, it is, in fact, a game based on team organization and tough defense that leads to an opponent needing to come up with solutions to best their opponent. Without good team organization on the field, we would never see the kind of skills that Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar exhibit within soccer today.
