He highlighted that the pacy format of the game helps the players make a quick decision as well as improve their confidence.
“Playing Futsal Improves player’s decision-making skills. The game needs players with more touches on the ball. The heavier ball increases the power of players. It develops their confidence to go 1v1 against their opponent,” he continued, “It increases their aerobic capacity and cardiovascular health, lowers body fat and improves muscle tone. Futsal helps them build strength, flexibility and endurance and increase muscle and bone strength.” He opined that these competitions always prove to be a perfect launching pad for the youngsters and working together will only help the game “get better every day.”
“I think the project itself will help us achieve these goals by giving these players more opportunities to play, more opportunities to have more competition on the pitch. This is an important part of the development of every player. This is the way we have to work – understanding, adapting, improvising and making changes when you need – all of us are looking to make the quality of futsal in India better every day.”
