What is futsal?
6 Futsal Programme 2016
Futsal is one of the world’s fastest growing indoor sports, which showcases close ball
skills, increased touches, quick decision making, creativity and tactical knowledge.
Considered by many as football in its purest form, the five-a-side game - using hockey
sized goals and a size four ball with 30% less bounce - is the main recognised form
of indoor football accepted by UEFA and FIFA.
The demands of the game mean players must develop excellent technical ability,
vision and awareness, decision making under pressure and cope with the fast paced
physical requirements of the game.
Many consider futsal to be a highly valuable tool in terms of developing young
players and challenging them to become more technically proficient. Many of the
skills and techniques of futsal are directly transferable to eleven-a-side football.
Some of the world’s top players such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc
Fabregas grew up playing the game from an early age and often describe how the
skills and techniques learnt in futsal have aided their success in the mainstream
game.
In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding.

Overview
Students on the course will study for a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Sport
over a two year period and will follow a carefully planned pathway of modules to
provide them with a broad range of knowledge and experience whilst remaining
linked to potential career pathways.
The unique learning environment created through a Norwich City based
programme allows students to be exposed to a variety of working areas of
a professional football club and its staff to enhance the delivery of core units.
Scholars will have the opportunity to observe the first team train, go behind
the scenes of match day security at Carrow Road and take part in match analysis
sessions to ensure a learning experience unique to this programme.
A learning environment based around sport, football and Norwich City has enabled me to enjoy the education sessions as much as I do the futsal.

10 Futsal Programme 2016
Students will receive up to four hours a week of dedicated futsal training with a full time FA qualified futsal coach
and will focus on core areas of physical, technical and tactical development.
Technical
Ball mastery, changes of direction, skills & tricks, manipulations, passing, receiving, dribbling, shooting, goalkeeping
Tactical development
Team play, formations, playing to a plan, game play.
Physical
With the physical demands placed on players in futsal training and games, it is important that players have the
physical capacity to perform to the required levels. Therefore elements of training sessions will also focus on the
physical development of the players:
Balance, coordination, agility, stamina, strength, flexibility, speed
Training programme
Nothing beats the build up to our fixtures... the team spirit in training is brilliant.

Career Progression
A scholar’s story
Having the opportunity to work towards a future in sport whilst representing Norwich City Football Club has been an incredible experience.
Tom Wright, Futsal scholar
“ “Having been part of various CSF football programmes since the age of eleven
- the majority of this within the goalkeeping player development centre - Tom
completed his GCSEs and was planning his next step in terms of education and
a career. His experience of CSF courses left him with a passion to develop a career
in sports coaching.
While futsal was relatively new to Tom as a goalkeeper, the opportunity to remain
within the Norwich City set up and further his education at the same time was an
appealing offer. Since achieving the required grades, Tom has not looked back.
In year one Tom continued his coaching development by shadowing experienced
CSF coaches in his timetabled free time, Tom has also developed his futsal ability
to a level where he has now been invited into the England regional development
centre as one of two goalkeepers (the other is also on our futsal programme!)
In year two, Tom has continued to go from strength to strength, passing his first
FA coaching qualification and along with several other scholars has joined CSF’s
community coaching team. This enables him to be employed part time by the
Foundation around his education and training commitments.
