Youth Futsal Skills and Strategies - Jeff Raymer

By its nature, the team formation of futsal fits the basic developmental needs of young soccer players better than soccer itself does, with no modification required. Futsal is the ultimate game to teach responsibility, shape, and teamwork in a fast-paced decision-making environment. As the world's official indoor foot sport, futsal allows for four full seasons of development. Neither rain nor snow, nor hot nor cold, will stop the play. Successful futsal teams rely more on playmakers, and less on plays. This book covers the fundamentals important for individual and team attacking and defending, including strategic advice unique to special futsal situations. Players, coaches, and parents alike will appreciate the practice approach, putting the decision-making power in the hands of the player while isolating portions of the game within the larger game.
