START Your Attacks in Futsal with These Proven Strategies!

First, let's talk about positioning. This is key. You have to provide yourself for a player with the ball. The player with the ball should always have at least one clear passing line.

And then there's quick passes. This is where the magic happens. You get that ball moving quickly, and suddenly, you open spaces. Use 2-3 touches on the ball maximum. The ball must be always moving. Even if it’s not a pass up front, still, you have to keep the ball moving - meaning, you have to pass the ball with your second or third touch.

And finally, let's talk about timing. If you are with the ball, use every opportunity to pass the ball as soon as the passing line is created by your teammate. On the other hand, if you are a player without the ball, you should time your runs into open spaces. Because if you open-up for a pass when your teammate is just not ready to provide you with this pass, it’s just not worth it. Find a moment, when a player with the ball is ready to pass and at this very moment - create a passing line.

Okay, so let's take a closer look at one specific strategy that's really effective in futsal - the "give-and-go" move. This is where you pass the ball to your teammate, and then make a run behind the opponent. They think you're just passing the ball, but suddenly, you're getting it back, and you're in behind them. It's a great way to catch them off guard and create those scoring opportunities.

Let me show you now a drill, which you can use on your next training session in order to improve build-up. We are teaching our players to get out of defense while being under pressure. 2 players at the back learn to combine with the third player, who comes down to help. At the same time we are also teaching the third player to get back and help teammates to play the ball out of defense and start attack. Players also learn to use minimum amount of touches, so the ball is always moving, and like this we keep the tempo high. This on the other hand - helps players to create free spaces and use them for a run or pass.

Improve Futsal Build-Up Tactics - Drill sequence:

The drill is played on one half of the pitch (can be also played simultaneously on both sides - like shown in the picture);
2 Versus 2 plus a Neutral Player;
Green Number 2 and Green Number 5 have 3 touches on the ball maximum;
Neutral player can use only 2 touches maximum.
Green Number 2, Green Number 5 and Green Number 6 can exchange passes several times during one attack - there is no limit in this regard;
As soon as both Green Number 2 and Green Number 5 cross the middle and as soon as at least one of them touches the ball - Green team gets 1 point.
After Green team scores 1 point or loses the ball, Neutral Player now plays for Red Team, which now has the ball and tries to score their point.
