Futsal Rochester

Futsal is played all over the world, in over 100 countries with 12 million players. This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play when they are indoors to refine and maintain their control skills and touch. In Futsal there are four field players and a goalkeeper that protects a 6 1/2 x 10 foot goal. It is superior to walled soccer in terms of developing better skills and techn

ique. The game teaches tremendous ball control skills and presents incredible opportunities for players to get numerous touches on the ball. The skills developed in this game are visible in the world-famous style the Brazilians display outdoors on the full-sized fild. Pelé, Ronaldo, and Brazilian women’s superstars Katia, Sissi, and almost every other Brazilian soccer star developed their superior skills playing the game of Futsal. All successful soccer playing countries in the world including Brazil, Italy, Germany, France, Holland, and others play Futsal exclusively as their form of indoor soccer. Now that America is taking soccer seriously and wants to compete at the highest levels, Futsal will irreversibly dominate the US indoor soccer scene. American soccer development will only advance to the next level when the indoor game advances to the same level as the rest of the world. Before entering another ‘hockey rink’ style league, ask yourself, how important is skill development to my players? This is the question coaches are asking and the conclusion people seem to be drawing is that Futsal is the wave of the future. It is not a fad, it is the way the world plays and it is here to stay in America. Founder of FutsalROC:
