ABSC's indoor winter futsal program provides players the opportunity to sharpen foot skills, improve game decision-making ability, and stay fit during the off-season. Sessions are led by trained, professional coaches (no parent volunteer coaches).
Soccer players around the world play indoors to refine and maintain control skills and touch. Read about this exciting and fast game, and its benefits, here.

WHAT IS FUTSAL?
- FIFA's official scaled-down version of outdoor soccer played indoors.
- Small-sided games (5v5) played with a smaller, low-bounce ball.
- The low-bounce ball forces players to use their skill rather than the ball’s bounce for propulsion.
- Played with touchline boundaries. There are no walls in play.
- See Rules of the Game here.
