Futsal is a special variation of soccer/football that uses a smaller, heavier ball to play in an indoor/non-grass facility. The heavier ball keeps the play rolling smoothly on the floor and the gym space makes for a tightly spaced 5v5 match. The combination of the two requires play to be skill-based, increase the number of touches per player and create a fun, free-flowing environment for creative play to come alive! Many of the greatest players, ball-handlers, playmakers grew up playing futsal. It was popularized in Brazil, and became an immediate sports fixture in Missoula!
