Key Notes
- Move: positioning yourself upfield and wide, or behind the ball carrier, provides options.

- Think: overloading the attack helps to break down the defence and increases our chances of scoring a goal.
- Feel: futsal requires creativity and determination to get free from a defender and attack with the ball.
- Connect: Working with teammates to spread out and provide options improves with experience of playing together.
Vocabulary To Learn
- kick in: play resumes with a kick-in if the ball crosses either touchline or hits the ceiling. Goals cannot be scored direct from a kick in
- overload: placing more players than usual in a specific area of the field to gain an advantage
- channel: the space along the sidelines or wide areas of the pitch which can be used to create width
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- There is a lack of movement off the ball or teammates position themselves too close to the ball carrier therefore making it easier for the defenders to gain possession.
