(5-a-side Indoor Soccer)
LEAGUE INFORMATION
SCHEDULE
Come play Futsal. It’s the only indoor soccer recognized by FIFA. Coaches focus on your players’ fundamentals during the winter months. Play in this fun, exciting Futsal league and experience what so many coaches and club administrators are raving about across the country. Futsal is the indoor soccer game of the future. The Frederick Futsal League is the ONLY sanctioned Futsal league in Frederick County.
Futsal is a small-sided soccer game (5v5 – 4 field players and a goalkeeper) played on a smaller field (roughly a basketball court) with a smaller low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries. There are no walls in play. This is the game that outdoor soccer players around the globe play when they are indoors to refine and maintain their control, skills and touch. It is superior to walled soccer in terms of developing better skills and technique. In traditional American walled soccer, players regularly whack the ball (and sometimes their bodies) against the boards which promotes improper technique and too often rewards errant play. In Futsal, players are constantly reminded to play the same quality control game that is required for success in the outdoor game. Futsal develops skill, control, and technique. A small field with lines puts players constantly under pressure from other players and out-of-play boundaries. Players must learn to settle the ball rapidly, cut sharply, shield effectively, pass quickly and move into space.
