What is Futsal?
	Futsal is a fun, fast-paced soccer game, played indoors within the lines of a basketball court (no walls), using a small, size 3 (or size 4), low-bounce ball.
	The game consists of two teams of four players and a goalkeeper with unlimited substitutions and quick restarts.
	Futsal is now played by over 12 million people in over 100 countries worldwide and touted as one of the keys in the development of soccer greats such as Pele, Zidane, and Ronaldhino!

	Where does Futsal come from?
	Futsal began in the South American countries of Uruguay and Brazil where, in the 1930’s, two versions of Small Sided Soccer were being played in the cities of Montevideo and Sao Paulo respectively. In Brazil, the large crowded cities and a shortage of playing pitches forced a soccer mad populace to play small sided soccer. A version began to develop on the streets of Sao Paulo, leading to the publishing of the first rules of the game in 1936 from the country that would soon become the masters of the game. Skills and techniques honed in Futsal soon began to become apparent in the performance of Brazil’s National Team - Pele, Rivelino, and Zico all played the game at some time in their development.
