As explained by Emilio Miranda from the University of São Paulo this version of the game creates up to 600% more touches and served as Brazil's "laboratory of improvisation". Futebol de Salão is played on a pitch the size of a basketball court with a smaller (size 2), heavier (465g) ball that has virtually no bounce (10%). A unique and central aspect of our programme is Futebol de Salão, the original Brazilian version of futsal. Our philosophy is that through an increased number of training hours involving constant repetition players can refine and improve their skills in all areas of the game. Have your child practice dribbling the soccer ball by using little kicks, keeping the ball in control, and using the inside and outside of their feet. We have never bought into the myth of natural talent or overnight success, what we do believe in is hard work, perseverance and practice. As they mature mentally and physically, their training will start to incorporate tactics as well as the physical and mental chapters of our training programme. We teach our players to initially focus on acquiring their individual all round technique and mastery of the ball. We help toddlers to 12-year-olds develop a love for the game and so much more. We stay true to our roots, yet keep evolving. Offensively, dribbling in soccer helps in achieving the ultimate goal of the game- scoring.
Like playing basketball, dribbling soccer skills teach the player how to move with the ball past an opponent without being tackled.
We attribute our success and popularity with children to our structured approach to training and proprietary syllabus of 200+ individual core movements and skills. And for 20 plus years we’ve led the pack in teaching them important life skills through soccer. Dribbling is a core skill in soccer that essentially helps 6-16-year-olds in ball control. Brazilian Soccer Schools (BSS) is one of the largest grassroots football training organisations in the world.
