Netsports Futsal
“Futbol Sala” is fast-paced, fun, and technically demanding. It’s the perfect antidote to stagnant skills during the outdoor off-season. Created and popularized in South America, this 5v5 version of soccer is played on a hard court with a weighted ball that limits bouncing. Players are forced to run hard, not hide, and play quickly.
Futsal is an excellent development tool for the smart player looking to gain an edge and challenge themselves. Pro players around the world credit Futsal with aiding their development, specifically improving speed of play and creativity.
