FUTSAL AND FOOTBALL
Both futsal and football are exciting sports. For both o f the games, the instruments used are almost the same. Besides the concept of the games and the interaction of o f the players during the games are also quite similar for both games. Most of the times, a lot of people may ma y think that have no differences between futsal and football. In co ntrast, that has some differences between two games. First of all, the differences between futsal and football are the rules of the games. For futsal, they are only ! minutes in a game which is shorter of the time period comparing to football. "uring the games, no offside rules available in the futsal games and the players sent off can be substitute after minutes. #he goalkeeper can hold the ball for $ seconds and that is no pass back to goalkeeper. %hile %hile for the football game, the game only contains $& minutes of the time period. 'ther than that, the offside rules are available in this game and that is no substitutions happen for players sent off. #here is no time limit for goalkeeper to hold the b all and I can pass back the ball to the goalkeeper once the ball was kicked out. Furthermore, venues for both of the games ga mes are totally difference. (et)s talk talk to the futsal game first, for the futsal, the venue of the game should be run through over hard court surface. #he length of the court may be around *+ to $ meters and the width is between *+ to meters. Instead, for the football game, the game runs through over soft surface which is on the field. #he length of the field may be around ! to -! meters. %hile for the width is between $& to ! meters. t last but not least, the third differences for both games are about the players. In futsal game, they have only & players who playing the game on the court. /o, due to the limited players in the games, every player should have strong individual techniques. #hat is why some p eople will said that futsal can actually train harder for every player. Former Bra0ilian Bra0ilian player 1oncalves 2-+, p.$3 states 4Futsal is excellent for developing technique, in particular that fast movements with and without the ball). For the players, they undergo late retired when compared to the football game and it may around *& to $! years old. But, for the football game, they have -- players on the court. #he players of the football game will undergo earlier retirement once they achieve * to *& years old. /ometimes, it is also depending on your ability and individual
professional technique. For example, in 5ngland, the players more focus to everyone)s technique and ability to controlling the ball. lberta 2!!63 stated that unless you 25ngland3 change your whole approach to football, nothing will get better. #he most important thing that can happen to 5ngland players is that they improve their technique. s a conclusion, although the futsal and football games have a lot of differences, there are also have remarkable similarities among them which is the instruments used for the games such as ball, gloves and so on. 7oncept of the games will always maintain all the single time. For both games, every athlete should interact with one another such as teamwork, cognitive and physical training. Mastery performance consists of athletes having highly refined decisions making skills and to develop this attribute in athletes training must be designed to combine cognitive and physical training as one as stated by 8ickers et al, 2!!$3. #hus, young football players should be placed in a Futsal environment, as the dynamics of Futsal not only develop key physical skills such as passing or dribbling but also vital perceptual9cognitive skills, such as the ability tosspot cues and make better decisions leading to superior performance. Finally, it is important to remind that although there have different ways in playing the both games, we should maintain the main concept of the games and the purpose of playing a game.
