Futsal Toolbox

Obj: The winter block's core session — sole-heavy futsal skills: toe pokes, sole stops, la croqueta, sole drag-push. Field: Futsal court or 25×15yd hard/flat surface. Equip: Futsal balls (weighted), flat cones, futsal goals. Org: 4-block circuit ×4 min: (1) sole mastery ladder (A-25 extended); (2) 2v2 rondo-keepaway, sole-touches only scoring double; (3) toe-poke finishing off the dribble; (4) 3v3 futsal game, all restarts by sole roll-in. CP: (1) Sole controls, inside passes — futsal's grammar; (2) protect with the body in traffic — no space to hide the ball with touches alone; (3) play fast — the surface rewards the quick mind (Section 6 Wk 22–23 theme). Prog: Croqueta must beat a defender before any finish; one-touch finishing only. Reg: Bigger goals; 2v1 game blocks. Mist: P: outdoor habits (big touches) on the small court; C: coaching it like outdoor soccer — let futsal's constraints teach. Time: Full 60-min winter session or 16-min block. Out: Touch density triples vs. grass; sole vocabulary automatic by February. Var: Futsal ladder league across the winter block (standings by courts, A-17 style). Diag: Court quartered into four station zones with rotation arrows.
