Dear Coach,

Players like Ronaldo, Messi and the legendary Pele weren’t born superstars. They were developed into them through endless hours playing futsal. It was on small, densely packed pitches that these players learned how to dribble as though the ball was glued to their feet, to develop rapid decision making and to shoot with laser pointed accuracy. All of these players attribute their success to the tight skills they developed playing futsal from a young age. Now you can harness the benefits of this fast paced game for your own team.

From Futsal to Soccer, Everything you wanted to know about coaching Futsal…and how you can use it to develop better soccer players, provides a complete guide to using futsal in training. This two part book provides a comprehensive look at how the principles, tactics and techniques of futsal can be harnessed to make training more fun, motivating and effective, and enable you to create players with silky skills and the soccer brain to match.

If your players are bored of running around cones, From Futsal to Soccer could be exactly the guide you’ve been looking for. With the pace of the modern game rising all the time, developing players with the technical skills and reactions of futsal players will also give your team the boost it needs to dominate games and make the opposition look as though they’re standing still.

TeixeiraAction“I believe that futsal helps in fast thinking, reaction speed and ability to make decisions, since the space is reduced. I think every child should start playing futsal because he touches the ball much more often, and the child has a greater enhancement of individual technical.” –  Vinicius Elias Teixeira (Ex Brazil Captain – Futsal World Champion)

“Futsal was important in helping to develop my ball control, quick thinking, passing… also for dribbling, balance, concentration…Futsal was very, very important, no doubt.” – Pele”

Rather than standing in lines and running around cones, it’s through playing futsal that many elite level players, particularly in Brazil and Spain, developed their silky ball skills, smooth passing and lightning quick decision making. Players love small sided games, and the benefits are obvious. Players get more time on the ball, more touches and the intense nature of futsal puts them under more pressure to be perform. It’s a wonder it’s taken so long for coaches to realize the benefits of harnessing futsal in their training programs.

From Futsal to Soccer explains everything you need to know on how to use futsal as a development tool. This includes a guide on the skills and principles relevant to 11v11 games, how elite level teams demonstrate the spirit of futsal in how they play and training drills for creating development focused futsal practice sessions.

Since 2003, he has coached a number of clubs, both grassroots and professional, with players of all ages and abilities, including Dundee FC, East Fife FC, Raith Rovers FC, FC Gland, United Soccer Academy and Head of Youth Development and 1st team Head Coach for Garhwal FC.

Garrido2Nacho Garrido started playing Futsal at the age of five, and continued all the way through his teenage years before turning pro at 17. He then continued to play futsal professionally for 18 years until the age of 35.

Prior to his retirement, Garrido also coached many different teams and levels, including university teams and both male and female players. After becoming a professional coach in 2008, Garrido even managed to first division sides in Spain and France.

Wherever he coaches, at the core of Garrido’s philosophy is training teams to have a disciplined formation. This has even led to him speaking at seminars around Spain (Murcia, Logroño, Córdoba and Ferrol) and around the world (Croatia, France, Italy, Bermuda and the USA).

This season Garrido will be coaching Universidad de Alicante – UA, a Spanish first division women’s side. He will as be continuing to present his Project F5F11, which reinforces the improvements coaches can gain from training with futsal.

 

What’s covered in From Futsal to Soccer

Futsal into Football

Grieve outlines the benefits for players and provides real life examples and screenshots of how these are harnessed by players at an elite level. This includes moving the ball quickly, exploiting space, passing accuracy and much more. He then explains why futsal is such a valuable development tool, the traits of futsal players and how the principles of futsal are relevant to 11v11 games.

Grieve then looks at valuable futsal techniques, including the toe poke, protecting the ball with the sole and using the sole to open up space. This is backed up with examples of how Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Neymar use these skills to devastating effect in real games.

In the third part, Grieve assesses how Manchester City, Barcelona, Brazil and Ajax all demonstrate the benefits of futsal and how it could have influenced aspects of their play.

Garrido provides his own insights on how futsal can improve team performance. This includes improved player reaction times, decision making, patience and playing with speed. It’s no coincidence that these are qualities Spanish players have in abundance, having grown up playing futsal from a young age.

Garrido then explains the differences between futsal and soccer, in defense and attack. Aspects include support, rotation, temporization, change of rhythm and diagonal counter attacking. Actual game screenshots are provided to demonstrate how the principles of futsal are applicable to elite level soccer. Garrido also analyzes how the improvements in passing, control and dribbling gained from futsal transfer into real games.

After discussing the tactics and systems of futsal formations, Garrido then provides a series of training sessions for putting all of From Futsal to Soccer’s theory into practice.

Rodrigo“In today’s soccer world think fast and anticipate the intentions of the opponent is the key, given the large physical and technical-tactical level acquired. So to train and play in a small space with a methodology that promotes decision making and creativity, is vital in the golden age of motor learning (6-12 years).

Futsal is one of the “keys” for this to be true because it meets all the ingredients of space, rules, socio-motor relationships and methodologies to build better players in the future. I believe this and it is my desire to expand this idea to improve the modern game. So I recommend reading this wonderful book that will be of great interest to all coaches who wonder every day how to improve their quality of training young people.” – Miguel Rodrigo (Spanish Coach . Japan National Team Head Coach)
