Was looking at a few videos and articles of Futsal and wondered why this couldn't take off in Scotland.
A number of top teams accredit the skills gained in futsal as being central to the development of the top players as well as it being popular with fans and players alike.

Would this be an option to develop the players in Scotland as well as being an option for clubs to fill the winter break. Think if done properly this would be more than just a modern day Tennents Sixes.
Be interested to hear the opinions of others.

It's a great game and we should be placing a greater emphasis on it, especially with kids.
With the poor weather and light we have so many months of the year it should be played much more often in halls up and down the country.
As an aside I remember playing 5s with a Spanish guy a few years ago. He point blank refused to hit the ball off the walls because it didn't fit in with the footballing philosophy he picked up playing futsal in Spain. It didn't stop him from being an absolutely fantastic player (I'm pretty sure he played futsal at a semi-pro or pro level over there, which they actually do have).

Talking about this today, kids nowadays don't play football with tennis balls and small footballs anymore, during break at school we always played with a tennis ball which helped ball skills.

It's a great wee game.
I think it's quite popular amongst students and a few Unis run leagues. It would really help kids to develop their skills imo. As pointed out above the days of playing football in the street with tin cans, tennis balls or whatever else are long gone, parents just don't trust the environment we live in anymore and so much football is now played through organised channels. Perhaps fundal could be incorporated into this to rediscover some lost skills?PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Futsal is the way forward. The fact Scotland haven't embraced it properly leaves us in the dark ages compared to other countries. It should be mandatory at youth level.

I have posted on here before about growing up watching indoor soccer in the US and how I still prefer to watch that game than the outdoor game. I find the faster pace to be more entertaining.

These guys run my sons 2005s winter league in Fife. It's well organised, the kids love it and it's indoors.
