Southeast Minneapolis Soccer Club

Southeast Soccer is offering a futsal training and play program for a variety of age groups.

Southeast is pleased to continue our relationship with Augsburg College soccer programs. Coaches from Augsburg's Men's and Women's programs will work with players to develop foot skills, dribbling, passing, possession, and moving faster with the ball. 

Players will also develop a sense of teamwork in addition to individual skills. Program includes approximately 40% skills building/training and 60% small-sided futsal play.

1. Rewards | FIFA's Futsal rewards the same basic skills, tactics and knowledge of the game as the 11v11 outdoor game.
2. Ball Touches | In a statistical study comparing Futsal to indoor arena soccer with walls, players touch the ball 210% more often.
3. Ball Control | With limited space, an out of bounds and constant opponent pressure, improved ball control skills and technique are required.
4. Speed of Play | With limited space, constant opponent pressure and a 4 second restart rule players learn to play and think fast.
5. Mandatory Support | Without a wall as a crutch, players must make supporting runs when their teammates have the ball.
6. Continuity of Play | Action is continuous so players are forced to continue the play instead of stopping and watching.
7. Knowledge | With four court players and all the basic options of the outdoor game in non-stop action mode, players' understanding of the game is enhanced.
8. Framing the Goal | The goal and Penalty Area are a perfect size for narrowing the angle so teams learn to frame the goal to score goals.
9. Encouraged Learning | FIFA's Laws Of The Game of Futsal, encourage playing a skilled game by punishing all physical contact fouls.
10. Fun | Players enjoy the challenge of playing a fast-paced-fun-skill-oriented game that test their abilities.
