The basic rules in futsal

History of futsal:

Futsal is a team sport related to football.

This discipline is invented by the Argentinian Juan Carlos Ceriani Gravel in 1930, in order to allow children to play more, by creating fields of small surfaces with a reduced number of players. From 1930 to 1933, he created the rules of the“living room football”.

The idea is also to create a new sport with its specific rules and less violent (no contact).

At the same time, a variant was born in Brazil, the “futbol de sala” (indoor football) or "futebol de salao", which will be a huge success.

In 1983, he will be called futsal . It is the contraction of “futebol de salao”.

The referees :

The game :

It includes 2 periods of 20 minutes in real time or 2 periods of 25 minutes in non-real time, the periods are separated by a maximum stop of 15 minutes for seniors. Depending on the age categories and the type of competition, the duration of the periods are different.

The main rules:

Start of the match: the players place themselves in their respective camps. After the draw, the ball is given to one of the two teams who will place the ball in the center of the central circle. Opponents will retreat to 3m from the ball. It is possible to score from the kick-off and on a throw-in.

Throw in : the throw-in after a goal takes place in the middle of the field. The opposing players must hold at 3m.

Off-side : there is no offside in futsal, like in football.

Prohibited gestures: the actions listed below are prohibited in futsal:

- tackling (front and back tackles prohibited in futsal). Forward tackle allowed in football

- commit to their goals. The commitment is made in the middle of the field

- pass the ball to his goalkeeper voluntarily and that he seizes it by hand. The goalkeeper must retrieve the ball with his foot

- there is no contact in futsal as in football.

Free kick :

Prohibited gestures or remarks, prohibited actions in the game, are sanctioned by a free kick.

Free kicks are awarded if a foul has been committed. outside the penalty area. There are two types of free kick: the direct free kick and the indirect free kick.

The free kick direct penalizes a physical fault with contact which can endanger the opponent (examples: tackle, pushes the opponent, strike, etc…), or if there is a “HAND”.

The indirect free kick penalizes a fault without contact (examples: obstructing the opponent, not respecting the 4-second rule, if the goalkeeper recovers by hand a back pass from his teammate, etc.).

On a free kick, the defenders must be 5 meters from the attackers. A free kick is taken from the place where the fault was committed.

Penalty: a penalty kick (or penalty kick) penalizes:

- a deliberate or unintentional fault in the penalty area

- too much accumulation of fault

- defenders must be 5 meters from attackers

Throw-in :

When the ball goes out to the side at the touchline, the opposing team performs a kick-in which is done with the foot.

Opponents must be 5m away. The player making the throw-in must immobilize the ball with his hand. You have 4 seconds to play a throw-in, a free kick or for the goalkeeper to put the ball back into play (the referee counts down 4, 3, 2, 1 second).

You cannot score on a throw-in.

Corner:

When the ball goes out the side of the goals at the level of the goal line, the opposing team takes a corner kick on the side of the goal where the ball went out. The corner is played with the foot. The player has 4 seconds to take the corner.

Opponents must be at 5m. It is possible to score from the corner point.

The Guardian :

- He can recover the ball by hand or by foot in his penalty area, unless it is a back pass from his teammate

- He cannot recover the ball by hand outside the penalty area , only at the foot

- The goalkeeper must throw the ball by hand within 4 seconds without leaving his penalty area

- The goalkeeper cannot score on a punt.

FOOTBALL and FUTSAL

Didactic and technical-tactical analysis

Definition of activity:

Collective activity of opposition where motor, perceptual and decision-making behaviors are implemented.

COLLECTIVELY

To build effective football, four steps are to be respected. Each step includes four game areas (D), to know :

D1) Spatial organization and movement of players

D2) Ball circulation

D3) Relations between the ball carrier (PB) and the partners of the ball carrier (PPB)

D4) It is the notion of goal that organizes the action of the players

STEP 1: “The grape”

D1) Spatial organization and movement of players:

Groups around the ball

D2) Ball circulation:

Random and inconsistent

D3) Relations between the ball carrier (PB) and the partners of the ball carrier (PPB):

Non-existent

D4) It is the notion of goal that organizes the action of the players:

It is the desire to appropriate the ball that organizes the action of the players

STEP 2: “Gaining ground”

D1) Spatial organization and movement of players:

Attackers and defenders regroup between the PB and the goal attacked

D2) Ball circulation:

The ball circulates in a central corridor, the side game is not exploited

D3) Relations between the ball carrier (PB) and the partners of the ball carrier (PPB):

Progression of the ball towards the opposing goal without taking into account its partners

D4) It is the notion of goal that organizes the action of the players:

It's scoring a goal that organizes the action

STEP 3: “The counter-attack”

D1) Spatial organization and movement of players:

Attackers get close to the opposing goal to score, and defenders gather close to their goal to defend it

D2) Ball circulation:

Lateral play begins to be exploited

D3) Relations between the ball carrier (PB) and the partners of the ball carrier (PPB):

Begins to use a partner: “I dribble or I pass”

D4) It is the notion of goal that organizes the action of the players:

It is the distance between the PB and the opposing goal that organizes the action of the PB

STEP 4: “The placed attack”

D1) Spatial organization and movement of players:

The actions are organized around the PB (support, support, demarcation, marking of the PB but also of the NPB partners

D2) Ball circulation:

Alternative between direct play (piercing the defense in the middle), and indirect play (bypassing the defense using side play)

D3) Relations between the ball carrier (PB) and the partners of the ball carrier (PPB):

PB does not only focus on one partner but on all their partners

D4) It is the notion of goal that organizes the action of the players:

It is the fact that a partner stands out in a favorable shooting position that directs the goal to score

INDIVIDUALLY

Four levels are identified:

Level 1 : the player is focused on himself, the ball and the goal

Level 2 : the player is focused on the goal and the opponent

Level 3: the player is focused on the goal, the opponent and a few partners

Level 4: the player is focused on the adversaries and all of his partners

THREE AREAS OF PLAY

For the player to progress, we will identify 3 game sectors:

SECTOR 1: face an opponent alone in a duel situation

SECTOR 2: cooperate with a partner to overtake an opponent

SECTOR 3: cooperate with partners against adversaries

For each of these sectors, the student will take care to:

1)Don't lose the ball

2)play on the move

3)Use and create free spaces

4)Create uncertainty

5)Shoot
