Crisp sharp passes, consistent dribbling and a much smoother first touch, these are just a mere few of the attributes in which are gained through playing football in a form of an indoor pitch.

I was fortunate enough to experience what it felt like in an indoor pitch, so now i will give to you the information in what ways the south american ball game of futsal can bring the best out of you when it comes to technique:

Ball Control

Smaller ball, harder to control, even the point of controlling the ball with the sole of your foot even helps to strengthen your technique. the use of the football being heavier as well helps to enforce better control and using it for your own wants and needs, so when you pull off skills in a Futsal pitch, you will be able to do the same in a match with 11 players to face.

Skills & Tricks

Arguably the traits which are the most notorious whenever Futsal is mentioned towards the majority of Football fans. The reasons for why Futsal is effective for the sharpening of skills is because of the atmosphere, and how it promotes freedom and self-expression among the players, which would be highly important for any player so they feel comfortable with their own playing ability. A players approach, when taking on a defender, apart from his technical abilities, also boils down to the flair and creativity in which he backs his technique with, so by spending hours by playing Futsal with confidence, composure and passion can definitely develop a players individuality in his skills, when they play against players who aren’t interested in Futsal.

Ball Retention

This is an attribute that is slightly a little more different than everything else. The way in which Ball retention is highly endorsed in the game of Futsal is because of it helps players become more aware of how important it is to keep possession in a Futsal game because of the fact that there are less players to rely on.

Dribbling Skills

This relates to a various of factors, the first one being the fact that as pointed in previous paragraphs, you are using a smaller ball, so you are forced to have a better touch when you attempt to try and perform dribbling maneuvers, but i think that because of the fact that once quick decision making is linked with creativity, then you will be able to develop the individual skill needed to be a great dribbler, because you would know when to dribble and what you want to do as well. Plus, because of the amount of time is increased on how long you have on the ball, i think that is what helps you gain more time to experiment what you would do is certain situations.

Passing Abilities

One of my favourite parts in Futsal, it doesn’t just offer the same old one dimensional passing that you may see from other football matches when they need to give it to each other constantly before taking a shot. Its all based on instinct, which is what makes me love it even more. Anyone can pass a ball, but Futsal can teach you a type of telepathic link up play, the best forms of using teamwork to your advantage and helping you to communicate with your teammates in the greatest way possible.
