Futsal is proposed as an effective methodology for training young football players between ages 7-14. The key aspects of futsal that make it beneficial are the limited time and space which force players to improve technical skills, creativity, and rapid decision making. The methodology focuses on teaching tactical concepts through futsal first in small spaces and then larger spaces. It emphasizes discovering solutions through troubleshooting rather than repetitive drills, and creating a positive learning environment focused on reinforcement and building confidence rather than punishment for mistakes. The goal is to develop technically and tactically skilled players who can quickly read game situations.

“FUTSAL MAKES FOOTBALL
PLAYERS BETTER”
The age between 7-14 years is the golden period where athletes are formed as
people and players. It is in this age where training in reduced spaces and its
aspect of competition, futsal, becomes a means for the player to improve his
capacity and speed in decision making process during the game, as to say:
"learn to play reading the game quickly and intelligent ".
Futsal is:
- almost no time for thinking + almost no space for play
this means better technical skills and creativity.
For this reason Futsal Can be laboratory of improvisation and creativity for the
future football player.

Our training methodology has primary target to form intelligent and creative
players using:
1. Teaching the game of football through futsal using "tactical concepts" age-
appropriate in a way that the child knows apply during the game, first starting
with the reduced spaces and then applying those in larger spaces.
2. Very quick decision making process reading every game situation through
training tasks with change attack-defense proper of Futsal.
3. Use of the Technical skills and, "applied technical skills" in futsal integral
training situations , avoiding the repetitive analytical technical learning as the
only means of training.
The golden rule that directs our learning process is the MOTIVATION and surely
it grows with:
1. Increasing CONTACT WITH BALL. Futsal increases contact with the ball 6
times more than traditional football (Dan Coyle Key Talent Book. Editorial
Planeta 2.009).
2. THE GOAL. Philosophy "nor a child without a goal" in every training. The
goal as a vehicle for learning.
3. "Meaningful and fun learning". The child finds learning fun, he finishes
training eager to return. The fun is directly connected with learning and this
is a golden rule for us in the early ages.

Our teaching style is based on the "TROUBLESHOOTING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
DECISIONS", as to say children guided by coaches / trainers or by themselves,
to discover the solutions in each game situation of attack and defense, only
then learning will be significant and lasting.
In the age of technology, our training method is to create an I-CLOUD (a CLOUD)
of technical and tactical concepts through meaningful practice in a way that the
player(even alone) in every moment can catch them and apply in every situation
of game, is what we call an "E-PLAYER" a modern player.
POSITIVE THINKING is a milestone of our training methodology.
We are in general coaches of “mistake and punishment "(stopping training
almost 90% to correct mistakes and saying things like" no; so no; exactly the
opposite; very bad; do not do that so, I said a thousand times; and never win in
that way; you don’t learn anything; how i have to say to make you understand??
... ").
We will act and teach in a way the child will learn through positive
reinforcement, "positive freeze" as an element that fills 100% of internal tank of
SELF-CONFIDENCE and will transfer that positive energy to let him making
decisions without fear of being wrong.
The important thing is to create technical and tactical behaviors, and then
provide that process of learning these behaviors of high quality technical-
tactical skills (where, how, when, why ...) for each game situation.

In short, we offer a way of training not only to explore the world of football, but
through futsal build better technical/tactical football players, more rapid in
making decision process with a better reading of the game through the domain
of game situation in reduced spaces.
Futsal could improve attack situation: ball possession throughout the game
between the lines, desmark, finalization, the technique skills during real game
situation ... Defense situations: the pressure after losing the ball, the defensive
position and marking within the area as a way to prevent goals. The set pieces:
corner, kick in and free kick as a mechanism to make goals, in situations not
generally exploited in football.
