Reasons why your Child should Play Futsal?

• Adaptability: Futsal is played on a hard surface, indoors and tennis shoes are required. It is ideal for training concepts on the “micro” level before bringing them to the big field.

• Improves Athletic Intelligence: Futsal’s fast-paced and continuous nature helps to improve a player’s awareness of the game.

• Speed of Play: The small space requires players to not only play quicker but also to make faster decisions. In futsal, you only have a split second to decide what to do with the ball before you are put under high pressure, this inherently encourages players to move on and off the ball, create space, and support teammates to combine out of pressure. (Sounds like tiki-taka!)

• Ball Skills and Control: According to Dr. Emilio Miranda from Sao Paolo University, a futsal player will have 600% more touches on the ball than an outdoor soccer player. This inherently helps players master their touch on the ball and will give players confidence to hold on to the ball more and take players on 1v1.

• Creativity: Perhaps the single most important reason to play futsal is that it encourages players to be creative and think out of the box. This creativity results in 1v1 moves, unbelievable passes, and combinations or the mastery of the toe kick. Brazilian superstar Ronaldo fenomeno is a good example of it. his ability to use his toe kick qualified Brazil to the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup.

Here at Players Club, we believe the game of futsal is the greatest teacher. Our nationally licensed coaches will only interfere if the same mistake is made more than twice.

Training should incorporate cardiovascular exercises such as running, interval training, and high-intensity workouts, as well as drills that mimic the energy demands of the game. Proper rest and nutrition are also important factors in maximizing cardiovascular endurance.

By maintaining strong cardiovascular fitness, players can improve their overall performance on the field, enhance their agility, speed, and stamina, and reduce their risk of injury. Improving cardiovascular endurance should be a priority for any soccer player looking to take their game to the next level.
