HFC U10 - Indoor Futsal League

Team:

Our season is coming to an end next weekend, but I know that there are some players who cannot get enough soccer.  While the next official club activity is indoor training starting in January, for players who are interested, I am willing to coach an indoor Futsal team during the Nov and Dec.

Futsal is a form of indoor soccer played around the world and is widely recognized for it ability to improve the foot skills of players.  This would be a 9 week season with 8 games and playoffs.  No practices.  It is a purely fun way for players to get touches on the ball.

This would be an addition cost to the club dues.  The exact cost per player would depend on the number of players on the team, but would be in the range of $75-$110.  If you are interested, please reply ASAP.  I am a little late on this and the team registration closed at the end of the week, so I will need a good idea of the number of interested players before Friday.  If you have any questions please email or see me after practice.  I am happy to discuss.  Thanks and see you on the soccer pitch!

Futsal is the only form of indoor soccer endorsed by FIFA. It earned the status of FIFA's official form of indoor soccer in the 1980s as it was recognized as a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, heavier low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls.

This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play to refine and maintain their control skills and touch. It is superior to walled soccer in terms of developing better skills and technique. In traditional American walled soccer, players regularly whack the ball (and sometimes their bodies) against the boards which promotes improper technique and too often rewards errant play. In futsal, players are constantly reminded to play the same quality control game that is required for success in the outdoor game.

The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, pin-point passing. The small, heavier futsal ball requires players to hone their ball-striking and ball handling technique. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and Katia grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.
