Cheshire FA Futsal Strategy

Overview

Futsal is an exciting, high intensity small-sided format of the game that is widely played across the world. Cheshire has always had a rich Futsal offering, widely encouraging the benefits and promoting the various opportunities to play this format.

The nature of the game places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure. Played indoors with a smaller, heavier ball the rules of Futsal, along with the playing surface and unique ball, create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.
