What is futsal?
Futsal is a soccer-based game played on a hard court. Futsal is a great skill developer for your soccer player as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing. Dominated in the South American countries of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, as of 2019 futsal has become the fastest grown youth participation sport in the world!
