About 2 weeks ago I
received an email for Australia asking me to write a post. The email was from
“Aussie Indoor Sport”, and they wanted me to write a piece about futsal. They
gave me several topics and ideas: working out a manageable exercise routine on
a full time work schedule, killing the procrastination of exercise, fitness
through indoor soccer, great way to socialise and stay fit, keeping fit and
healthy this winter with indoor sports... or I could pick my own topic. At the end,
I decided to mix several topics and this is the results:
Five brief tips to play futsal:
1) First touch and control – Try to recognise where the space is
before you receive the ball and control the ball in that direction. Sometimes
you might need close control in tight situations when you are marked, other
times this can help start an attack by controlling into vacant areas of the
pitch.
2) Positioning and movement – In a smaller game, finding space is
vital. This might need you to do a dummy run before you get the ball by faking
to go one way for one or two steps and then travelling back quickly. Gaining
that extra yard can be vital!
3) Passing – Try to be clever with your passing in
small-sided games by adding disguise and deception. Changing the angle of your
foot at the last second or not looking directly at your team mate can create
vital goal scoring opportunities that the defence do not predict!
4) Shooting – Chances might be hard to come by so
make the most of these by either aiming across the goal into the far corners or
taking the easy pass to a team mate to score if your angle is tight. Use your
laces for power, inside of the foot for accuracy.
5) Communication – Making the
game easy for your team mates can be done by simply telling them what is going
on and providing information about the game. Have they got space to turn? Have
they got a man-on? Helping to make their decision-making easier and quicker
helps the team!
Five brief aspects to play futsal:
Studies
have shown that playing small-sided games of football are just as good for your
fitness as interval training. Therefore you will have the same high intensity interval
training’s benefits:
1) Healthier heart – It is very difficult to push yourself into the anaerobic zone in a gym session. However, playing futsal you will do it without realising! So you will work on both the aerobic zone and the anaerobic zone, improving your recovery capacity.
2) Efficient – You do not need to perform a long gym session. Just playing one half (20 minutes) three times a week shows the same benefits as jog in the treadmill for one hour. Whit just 2 weeks you can improve your aerobic capacity as much as 6 to 8 weeks of endurance training.
3) Burn more fat – You burn more fat during and after the workout since that intense exertion kicks your body’s repair cycle into hyperdrive.
4) Agility – Playing futsal requires a lot of change of directions and speed. You will need to do a lot of fakes and faints to take the free space, so your agility, speeed and quickness will improve.
5) Social Aspect – It is funny to play a game. Since you can talk and compete with other people. Competition is always nice. But as I said before your communication in futsal is essential.
