Based on my knowledge, futsal has helped him as a midfielder. It helps with decision making, and technical skills and tactics to get around opponents. I am not sure it would be as helpful in all other positions. It will not help with things like avoiding being shouldered off the ball, because shouldering and tackling are not permitted in futsal. Futsal is also a sport where you can have somewhat less stamina - you run a lot over a shorter distance, vs. the distances you need to cover in 11 a side soccer on a full field. Some skills and abilities transfer over, and some do not.

Disagree about the stamina---Futsal is an all our sprint the entire time you are in their---much like basketball. 10 minutes of hard futsal is intense. Big field---watch Messi play.. (you have to see him in person to note this) ...he is walking a majority of the game...but when he makes the run or sprint---all bets are off. I have seen him play in person several times and the first thing I thought was 'wow, he is walking a lot'. Midfielders outdoors have the most endurance/running.[/quote]

Well, all I know is that my son is usually a lot more winded after soccer games than futsal games, but he is a holding midfielder in soccer, so he runs a lot.[/quote]

A lot of Futsal teams have a full-set of subs.  10 players.

My kid's team carried 7 and often there was only 1 sub or none.  That is intense 40 minutes of all out sprinting.

But, I agree, I am peeved my sons' teams both carry large Futsal rosters because even though they are subbed out fairly---the total time is small.[/quote]
