Futsal Skills Section - Crossing the river     

Organisation


• In two groups
• Half-court and goal of the playing court
• Several balls

 

Performance


Beginning:
One player is the goal keeper and two take the pivot position, one on the left touchline and the other on the right. Each group of shooting players forms a single-file line in front of their pivot player.

Development:
The coach’s signal, the first shooter of one of the groups moves forward some 3-4 metres with the ball at his feet, passes it to his pivot and continues moving forward, now faster, toward the penalty area
• The pivot controls the ball with the sole of his/her foot and then pushes the ball into the path of the oncoming shooter
• The shooter immediately shoots on goal upon receiving the ball

• The first shooter of the other group comes out immediately and proceeds in the same fashion
• The shooters of the left pivot shoot with the left leg and those of the right pivot, with the right leg
• The shooter who has shot on goal picks up his ball and positions himself in the line of the other group
