Futsal is a great skill developer, demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing.
Futbol Sala, indoor football and five-a-side soccer was developed to be played on a basketball sized court. The special feature of the game is the unique properties of the ball, which has a low rebound. The game developes close individual ball skills as the court is small and players are forced into limited space & option scenarios. The success of the Confederation of Brazilian Football can be attributed to the prominant use of Futsal in the development of it's junior players. During games, players receive more touches and are constantly placed in demanding decision making, limited space situations that they would face on a greatly reduced scale playing 11-a side outdoor soccer only. As such almost all of the Brazilian soccer superstars like Ronaldo, Denilson, and Roberto Carlos developed their phenomenal skills playing Futsal as juniors.
Futsal is the only "official form of Indoor Soccer" as approved by (FIFA) Federation Internationale de Football Association. It is played in all the continents of the world by over 100 countries and has 12 million players.
