Futsal Although there have been a few TYSA teams that have played Futsal this is fairly new to our area.
Futsal is FIFA's official indoor game, which resembles
a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a small sided
game (5v5) played on a small court (like a basketball court) with a smaller
(size 3-4) and heavier ball. It does not allow playing off of walls, but
rather is played with touchline boundaries.
Futsal is gaining momentum in American soccer. However,
as is often the case in the US, is just catching on to what the world has
known for sometime.
Superior skill is built by simulating the outdoor game
indoors with small sided games and a smaller ball. The focus is on
technique, touch and finesse. World famous clubs such as FC Barcelona and AC
Milan have used this approach for many years.
