Intent: Increase regular participation and motivation & Championing physical literacy

Rules:

Futsal is a 5/6 a-side fast paced game that develops skills and tactics. The game encourages teams to make more passes as well as think more tactfully.

Squad: 8 in squad, with 5/6 on the pitch at any one time (Y5/6 girls only)

Rules;

• Played to lines and play is restarted with a kick in (as opposed to throw in), corner or goalkeeper’s THROW (no goal kicks) - must be taken within 4 seconds.

• Goalkeepers can leave the area and players can enter the area.

• Goals can be scored from anywhere.

• Ball can be played over head height.

• 5 fouls (we may reduce this to 3 depending on length of the game) before a penalty is awarded.

• Fouls are the same as football

• The goalkeeper cannot receive the ball more than once from his team until it touches an opponent.

Additional information:
