Quote:
Futsal is the best transition for the soccer type game going from outdoor to indoor and back again. For youth this is important because players can work on and keep the same skill sets being developed with Futsal and step back onto the outdoor pitch and without any retraining. Futsal is a confidence builder. Smaller sides, faster play, many “touches”, and low fouls provides opportunity for even the least skilled players to improve and tell themselves “I can do this!”
