Futsal is one of the best methods of developing young footballers, particularly for a possession style of play. It provides the perfect small-sided environment for explosively and exponentially increasing a player's abilities across multiple dimensions.
EAGLECLAW FUTSAL
A fun, fast-paced training program designed to help develop youth players technical skills, spatial awareness and decision making.
Eagleclaw Futsal's curriculum is deeply influenced by Spanish futsal training, or futbol sala as it is called in Spain. Each session begins with some free play followed by about 15-20 minutes of training aimed at developing fundamental techniques critical to the game, including controlling the ball with the sole of the foot, quick passing, spatial awareness and smart movement. Everything is done with the ball and usually through Spanish rondo-based exercises and small-sided games. The next 30 minutes involve a variety of small sided games and 5v5 scrimmages in which official futsal rules are enforced. These games are designed to use the natural constraints of futsal - 5 players per side, the low bounce ball, the hardwood court, the rules of the game - to accelerate development by getting kids playing quickly and using their newly learned skills and tactics in the most beneficial way. This is how we are able to create a learning environment that is fun for the kids and allows them to learn the game by playing the game.

Futsal Shoes
Futsal players need futsal shoes, NOT turf shoes. Futsal is played on a hard surface like a basketball court. This means futsal players need a shoe that can provide traction and stability on a hard, smooth playing surface. Futsal shoes typically have a gum rubber flat outsole and a flat, stiff sole. There should not be any "teeth" or studs on the sole. It should be flat. They need to be lightweight and flexible to adjust to the sudden stops and quick turns made on a futsal pitch. "Turf Shoes" are NOT Futsal shoes. Eagleclaw recommends PUMA futsal shoes, like the amazing PUMA King IT shoes shown above, but any brand of futsal shoes is allowed.
