| WHAT IS FUTSAL? Futsal is the international form of indoor soccer and is played under the banner of FIFA throughout the world by more than 25 million players. Futsal is played on a basketball court, by five players on each side. Because the sport is a great skill developer, demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing, it is an exciting game for children as well as adults. Great soccer superstars such as Pele grew up playing the game and credit Futsal with developing their skills. Futsal is played with a special, low-bounce ball, necessitating players to use their skills, rather than the ball’s bounce, to propel it. |
