Futsal is one of the fastest-growing sports in England. Consisting of two teams of five, one being the goalkeeper, and played on a much smaller pitch. This game requires the players to work as a team and rely upon their skilful foot play rather than physical contact that is found in a normal game of football. Futsal sees a much higher pressure to the player on the ball, having to think fast and react to different situations.

Here at Stars Football Academy, we encourage all of our Stars to take a go at Futsal, learning valuable lessons of team play and improving their overall confidence on the ball. Many of the great footballers played Futsal in their youth such as Messi, Ronaldo and even Pele.
