On rainy days the athletic department does not want us training at our stadium or training field, because we can damage the grass. However, the team cannot afford to miss to many training sessions, as it has been a rainy spring season. Therefore on most rainy days we end up having practice in one of the gyms/basketball courts, playing futsal. Futsal is indoor soccer on a basketball court. Futsal is a little different from soccer. First of all it is indoor, secondly it is 5v5, thirdly it is on a smaller court, and finally there a lot more rules which make the game faster. It is very beneficial for soccer players to play futsal as it really focuses on technique and speed of play, as the ball moves very quickly in a small space.
Today we had a fun yet competitive session. We played many intense mini games and scrimmages, that really got our legs moving. Coaches allowed us to play a bunch of mini games, as they know the physical and technical benefits from futsal.
