The Futsal Performance Training Program includes: 30 minutes of Futsal training – UFA Metro Atlanta coaches will lead players through technical drills. Maximizing touches all the ball, building confidence with the ball, and learning new skills are the objectives. 30-minute Futsal game – Following the training, players will participate in games. The games will be played in a 4v4 or 5 v. 5 format including goalkeepers. The format allows players to maximize touches on the ball, enhance passing and receiving abilities in tight spaces, and a chance to create high volumes of chances to score.

All games will be played with UFA Metro Atlanta Professional Staff Coaches in supervision. The program is open to players of all skill levels that want to improve in a fun and exciting environment. Why Play Futsal? Futsal rewards the same basic skills, tactics and knowledge of the game as the 11v11 outdoor game. Ball Touches In a statistical study comparing Futsal to indoor arena soccer with walls, players touch the ball 210% more often. Ball Control With limited space, an out of bounds and constant opponent pressure, improved ball control skills and technique are required. Speed of Play With limited space, constant opponent pressure and a 4-second restart rule players learn to play and think fast. Mandatory Support Without a wall as a crutch, players must make supporting runs when their teammates have the ball. Continuity of Play Action is continuous so players are forced to continue the play instead of stopping and watching. Knowledge With four court players and all the basic options of the outdoor game in non-stop action mode, players’ understanding of the game is enhanced. Framing the Goal The goal and Penalty Area are a perfect size for narrowing the angle so teams learn to frame the goal to score goals. Encouraged Learning FIFA’s Laws Of The Game of Futsal, encourage playing a skilled game by punishing all physical contact fouls. Fun Players enjoy the challenge of playing a fast-paced-fun-skill-oriented game that test their abilities.
