Futsal is known to have proven benefits in terms of the following, directly translatable to soccer, areas:
-
Improving players cognitive decision making ability and speed.
-
Providing the players with 6 times the amount of time on the ball compared with regular soccer.
-
The increased weight of the ball strengthens the players passing and shooting ability.
-
The increased amount of time on the ball in confined spaces also helps the player improve and increase their confidence and ability to beat players 1v1.
World Cup winner Pele: "Futsal was important in helping to develop my ball control, quick thinking, passing… also for dribbling, balance, concentration…Futsal was very, very important, no doubt.”
World Player of the Year Lionel Messi: "In Argentina, when I was a young boy, I used to play a lot of Futsal on the street and with Newell's Old Boys.
It was a really fun game that's helped me a great deal.Cristiano Ronaldo: "In Portugal, all we played growing up was Futsal".
Of Futsal, Dr Simon Clifford writes:
“One reason lies in the math. Futsal players touch the ball far more often than soccer players—six times more often per minute, according to a Liverpool University study. The smaller, heavier ball demands and rewards more precise handling—as coaches point out, you can’t get out of a tight spot simply by booting the ball downfield.
Sharp passing is paramount: the game is all about looking for angles and spaces and working quick combinations with other players. Ball control and vision are crucial, so that when futsal players play the full-size game, they feel as if they have acres of free space in which to operate."
As Dr. Miranda summed up:
“No time plus no space equals better skills. Futsal is our national laboratory of improvisation.”
In other words, Brazilian soccer is different from the rest of the world’s.
Futsal compresses soccer’s essential skills into a small box; it places players inside the deep practice zone, constantly generating solutions to vivid problems.
Players touching the ball 600 percent more often learn far faster, without realizing it, than they would in the vast, bouncy expanse of the outdoor game.”
