[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think pairing futsal over winter with some “strength” Training ( pushups, sit ups, small weights) is the way to go.[/quote]

Agreed.  Although my son does all that, and still, he is 10th percent in height and 15th in weight.  He is a monster at futsal, but fairly mediocre (decent) at soccer.  It's just a different sport.[/quote]

My kids are both better at Futsal...even my older son who is tall and muscular.

They are both VERY technical players with quickness in tight paces.  They are good outdoor, but really good in Futsal and prefer it to outdoor.

My younger son is small and skinny for his age so definitely excels in that arena.[/quote]

Futsal really exposes players that have poor first touch, technical, and passing skills. Playing outdoors on a large field, size and speed can mask the lack of ball skills. [/quote]

Unfortunately although a large part,  soccer is not just technical skills. You need everything listed above,  plus the speed, stamina and strength to excel. [/quote]

agreed. [/quote]

Futsal doesn’t really expose poor technical skills. The smaller weighted ball, lack of areal play, and lack of space to play at speed actually makes futsal a poor proxy for technical skills. It’s a mistake to believe that someone who plays futsal well will be able to to be a technical player at soccer. [/quote]
