As mentioned in my previous blog post about the off-season, Futsal is an activity that the ONU Men's Soccer Team does during these colder months. Futsal is essentially small-sided soccer that is played indoors with a smaller and more dense ball. Although it is not the same as playing full-field outdoor soccer, it is a very good opportunity for the team to get touches on the ball and stay active during the time when they aren't practicing every weekday.
One thing Futsal is very good for is keeping a players touch on point. Everyone who comes, including the goalies, are going to be playing with the ball at their feet a lot because the courts are so small. Also, because the courts are so small it forces players to be more technical which challenges their skills and helps with their touch. In addition to a better touch, Futsal provides a fun way to stay fit during the off-season rather than just running alone. Lastly, it is just a good way to stay in connection with teammates as it is more difficult to get together. Overall, playing Futsal is just a very beneficial activity to do during the off-season.
