Futsal Technique
Futsal is a football variant. It is played by two teams, each consisting of 5 players. Those players consist of one goalkeeper and four other players for defense and attack. Its field is smaller than for football, and it is commonly an indoor sport. more precision is required, because the field is smaller and the players fewer than for regular football.
Attack
How this is done when the opponent pressure to the main of our defense. In this condition, the space for the movement of individuals is very limited. If the ball was dominated in its own area until captured opponents, the risk of large conceded the goal. Therefore, the opponent has the ideal distance for a shot on goal.However, pressure from opponents like this also presents a distinct advantage for us. Because the opponent's defense became more open. If the ball can be rolled out to the opposing defense, we had chances to score.This combination can be done to dismantle the opponent's defense. However, there are conditions that must be met. One of those is the good understanding between players. Without a sense of understanding, feedback and movement will be done easily broken opponents as striker tend to fall off.
Defense
Defense is one of important things in playing futsal. In futsal, a good defense technique can be the key for achieving positive result. It is very important when playing against a better team. Every coach has to prepare his team and individual players in several defense tasks. There are several factors that every coach and player have to consider when deciding defense technique. Those are technical skills, tactical skills, physical condition and number of players. Besides that, it is very important to know how the opposite team’s technique and strategy. By knowing those, we can choose what the best technique can be done.
The principle of defending is keeping your body in front of the defender. You shuffle backwards, switching sides, depending which way the defender is dribbling. You want to push the attacker to the outside of the field. If you can steal it without fouling, then do it. You can also play the ball off the attacker so it goes out for your throw. Try not to let the attacker cross the ball.
Individual Technique
Individual techniques are done by each player in futsal. These techniques are how the movement, position and skill of the player. Then, the key of playing futsal is to win the game by scoring more than the opposite score. To do that, individual techniques, such as passing, shooting, and dribbling, must be good. First, passing is sending a ball to teammates by kicking the ball. You have to consider the right position and direction. Second, shooting is kicking the ball to score a goal. It is done by choosing the direction and giving more power to the ball, so the ball will drive fast and the goalkeeper cannot catch the ball. Third, dribbling is a technique when a player brings the ball from one side to other side. This is done by using two feet or just one foot, it depends on player’s ability. Also individual players can do moves or decelerate then accelerate.

About US Futsal
The origin of Futsal (Five-a-Side Soccer) can be traced back to Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani devised a five-a-side version of soccer for youth competion in YMCAs. The game is played on basketball-sized courts, both indoors and out without the use of sidewalls.
The term FUTSAL is the international term used for the game. It is derived from the Spanish or Portuguese word for "soccer"-- FUTbol or FUTebol, and the French or Spanish word for "indoor" -- SALon or SALa. The term was adopted by U.S. Futsal since it includes the initials "fUtSAl" (USA). The term was trademarked in the United States after U.S. Futsal changed its corporate name within the state of California.
The game is frequently referred to as Five-A-Side or Mini-soccer. Once Ceriani got the ball rolling, Futsal gained rapid popularity throughout South America, particularly in Brazil. The skill developed in this game is visible in the world-famous style the Brazilians display outdoors on the full-sized field. Pele, Zico, Socrates, Bebeto and other Brazilian superstars developed their skill playing Futsal. While Brazil continues to be the Futsal hub of the world, the game is now played, under the auspices of FIFA, all over the world, from Europe to North and Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia and Oceania.
The first international competition took place in 1965, when Paraguay won the first South American Cup. Six more South American Cups were held through 1979, with Brazil winning all of them. Brazil continued its dominance with a victory in the first Pan American Cup in 1980 and won it again the next time it was played in 1984. A U.S. team took part in the 1984 cup, but finished out of the running.
U.S. Futsal was founded in 1981 and incorporated in January, 1983. Osvaldo Garcia was it's first president. The game is referred to as Minisoccer, five-a-side soccer, Futbol Sala or Futebol de Salao, but it is also widly refereed by it trademark name, Futsal. The current U.S. Futsal president is Alex J.C. Para.

FIFA took over direct sponsorship of the event in 1989 in Holland and 1992 in Hong Kong. Brazil won both times. The U.S. Futsal (Indoor Team), finished third in 1989 and second in 1992 at the FIFA Five-a-Side World Championship. The highest showing by any team from the United States in a FIFA tournament until the U.S. Womens team won the gold medal in China for outdoor soccer.

The national organization adopted the sport, and it is now played at about 1,100 Boys and Girls Clubs throughout the U.S. The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) also plays the sport in a close working relationship with U.S. Futsal since 1988.
