Couple of pertinent features with the news the SFA is considering banning heading of the ball for u12s.

Futsal: the thinking player’s game that doesn’t hurt the head

Futsal - it may also provide a safer option for children;

"The futsal ball is always played on the ground & the probabilities of ball headings, which are a serious issue for kid's brain development (de Menezes, 2015; Moser & Schantz, 2002) are very limited."

The full study, funded by UEFA, was first presented publicly at the 2017 Conference & can be accessed here;

With a smaller, heavier ball, the game is played on the ground, which means less worry about head injuries

An evidence based approach to decide what to play.

“The mathematical reason for great players coming from futsal: they touch the ball 6 times more per minute & acquire more speed to plan play in such small spaces"

““Hay una razón matemática: los jugadores de sala tocan seis veces más el balón por minuto, adquieren más velocidad para planear la jugada en un espacio tan reducido. Los grandes jugadores vienen del fútbol sala”: página 94 de “Objetivo: Generar talento” de José Antonio Marina.”

AK FUTSAL

A few weeks off now from Scottish futsal League - Glasgow but nice to do so undeafted and top of the league after 6 games. Super proud of the players many of whom stuck with the club last year through a difficult period, dug in, fought for each other and are now reeping the rewards.

Long way to go but we've built a real platform for the season.

AK FUTSAL update.

Having won our first two championship phase games we followed up with two defeats. A 2-1 loss to Persian athletic (still not sure how we lost) and a 4-1 loss to Slovak lads (again, scoreline not reflective of the game). In our final game we beat Cardo 3-2 making hard work of it in the end.

Our final position was 3rd meaning we'll need to wait another year for a chance to return to the super league.

Although ultimately we were dissappointed I think that showed the progress made. Our second half versus Slovak lads was the best futsal I witnessed this season and I watch a lot of super league games. So whilst results didn't show this as a successful season our development certainly has.

We start our league cup campaign on Wednesday.

Many congratulations to Slovak lads on winning the title.

Small sided game's.
Let kids play...play the game...but what game?

This is intrinsically linked to the governing body and how they view, help and support futsal. First of all the sport needs to be recognized for what it is. Some level of Socratic debate would go…

AK FUTSAL update.

After starting SFL Glasgow with 7 successive defeats our squad of committed and courageous futsal player's went on to win 4 of the last 5 game's to finish 8th in phase 1. This was enough to earn a place in the premier Division for phase 2 where the top 6 play each once to decide the league championship.

2 game's in we've won 2 game's, the latest against Edu sports academy a group with player's playing in the lowlands league. This puts us in a position to fight for the league title and an opportunity to compete in the SL playoffs. Fair to say it's been a sensational turnaround for the group.

Interesting report. Something for current youth coaches to be tested against.

We see a lot of clips of academies proudly showing off player's doing 'rotations' but lacking basic principles...as basic as using the sole and receiving on the safe side. If these basic techniques are being missed player's are not being equipped for the demands of the game.
