FAQs for Futsal

What is Futsal?

Originating in Brazil, Futsal is a fun, fast-paced version of soccer played on a smaller, hard surfaced court (basketball court or similar). Teams consist of 5 players on the field at any one time (4 and a goalie) and a heavier size 4 ball is used. The ball is heavier in order to reduce the height the ball bounces. Futsal is recognised as a great way to develop soccer skills as smaller team sizes allow players to spend much more time on the ball.
