Beginners Guide to Futsal

The Kent County FA in Partnership with Dover District School Sports Partnership will be running a Beginners Guide to Futsal Course at Dover Leisure Centrel.

The Beginners Guide to Futsal Course is a 3 hour course that offers teachers, young leaders or coaches a basic introduction to the game of Futsal.

Futsal is the format of Small Sided Football that is recognised and supported by FIFA and UEFA with World and European Championships for club and National Teams.

The name 'Futsal' simply combines the Spanish words for ‘Hall’ – Sala and ‘Football’ – Futbol into Futsal. It is a five-a-side game, played with hockey sized goals and a smaller ball with a reduced bounce.

As a small-sided game players are constantly placed in situations where they must receive or play whilst under pressure or in confined spaces and it places considerable demand on technique, movement, tactical awareness and fitness.

The course will run over sessions on 30 April and 7 May. For further information, and to book onto this course please visit www.doverssp.co.uk details of the course are under the Events Calendar.
