Futsal is a quick-paced,exciting form of indoor football.It is often played on a basketball court,with five players per side.The game is a sprint.Players get set up instantaneously,with quick,controlled passes and close range shots.Games have two 20-minutes halves,with one 1-minute timeout permitted per half for water breaks.
Futsal is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.It is the only form of indoor football recognised by FIFA,(Federation International of Football Association),the international governing body football.
Futsal has a lot in common with football.Both teams try to kick the ball into the opponent's goal.Only the goalkeeper can use hands,and possession goes to the other team if the ball goes out of bounds.However,there are some important differences.
There is no Offside Rule,which everyone likes.When the ball goes out the bounds,you don't throw it in.You must place the ball on the line where it when out and kick in,and you have four second to do it.If you haven't kick it by then,the other team takes possession.You can score from the kick-off.You place the ball directly on the corner for corner kicks.
If you are a goalkeeper,there are also different rules.No goal kicks are allowed.You must throw the ball in play,and it has to bounce before the mid-line.You have four seconds to put the ball in play or the other team gets the ball.
You must also understand the importance of fouls.Once a team has accumulated five foul.Futsal doesn't allow any rough play,such as shouldering or sliding tackles.Yellow and red are used just as in football.
