FUTSAL is a five-a-side version of soccer for competition and is played on basketball-sized courts, both indoors and out without the use of sidewalls. This exciting and fast paced sport traces back to the 1930′s and today is played worldwide at every level of competition. Today, FUTSAL is experiencing explosive growth in the US.
