Striking Game - Badminton and FutSul

What is futsal?

Futsal is the FIFA-recognised form of small-sided indoor football (the word is a contraction of the
Spanish 'fútbol sala'). It is played between two teams who each have five players on the pitch at any one
time, with rolling substitutes and a smaller ball than soccer that is harder and less bouncy.

The small amount of space means players must have great technique and skill, and as well as a
professional sport in its own right with national and international championships, it is also considered a
development tool for 11-a-side football.

Futsal positions explained:

 The fluid nature of futsal means outfield players usually cover the whole pitch but will generally have
primary roles.
 Not all formations utilise all of the positions. Some players are known as 'Universal' and can fill any
of the roles.

Goalkeeper: Can handle the ball in the penalty box but more engaged in outfield play than in football, with
the small pitch size making throws important. Often will tape their fingers rather than wear gloves to aid
throwing.

Defender: Usually the last man ahead of the goalkeeper but also important in starting and joining attacks.

Winger: Often the most skillful and creative player, and crucial in both attack and defense.

Pivot: Typically, the most forward player on the pitch. Their job is not just as a goal scorer but as someone
that can hold the ball up with back to goal before releasing team-mates.

Universal: A player able to perform in various outfield roles.
