【Summary】Futsal Individual Tactics

Futsal is a sport played by 5 players on each side, but when breaking down the organization to its extreme, it all comes down to the individual.

Therefore, the quality of individual skills cannot be ignored in enhancing team organization and group tactics.

From a player’s perspective, acquiring individual tactics that are applicable in any environment is more valuable than adapting to changing group tactics with the team, making the mastery of individual tactics crucial.

This article explains the overall picture and classification of individual tactics.

  • Attacking (On the ball)
  • Defending (On the ball)
