Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small-sided game that focuses on technique and skill over size and athleticism. Used by soccer federations worldwide in their youth development systems, Futsal forces players to play in a high-pressure environment and allows them to sharpen the skills needed to excel at traditional outdoor soccer. The smaller court allows players to develop spatial awareness, tactical abilities, and ball handling skills.
Futsal is a five-a-side game (4 field players and a keeper), played at Alliance Sportsplex on an indoor sport court surface with small goals and a size 4 ball with a reduced bounce. The courts have endlines and touchlines (just like an outdoor field) as well as a midfield line and penalty area. Played with 20 min halves, there is unlimited substitutions on the "fly" except for goalkeepers.
