Are you ready to continue the soccer FUN in the off-season this Winter? Shade 1-on-1 is excited to announce we will once again offer club neutral Futsal competitive teams. The best part is with our increase in coaching staff we are now able to offer even more player age groups for the 2023-2024 season!

What is Futsal? Futsal is a 5v5 small sided, skill-oriented game that tests a player's abilities at every level, whilst developing all-around individual technique. It is the only indoor version of soccer sanctioned by FIFA and is played on a hard surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls. For more details go to: https://www.usyouthfutsal.com/about-futsal

Why Futsal? Futsal’s fast-paced and continuous nature helps improve a player’s spatial intelligence and ability to learn to read the game. With constant opponent pressure, a 4 second restart rule, and without a wall or rebound boards to aid in the escape from tight situations, players learn to make quick passes and supporting runs, placing a premium on the player's ball control, movement, timing, and passing accuracy. Being small-sided, futsal players experience increased touches in all functions of the game (attacking, defending, and transitions), thus allowing them to develop holistically regardless of positioning.
