The Sala Method

The Sala Method

At Sala Soccer Schools, our training philosophy is rooted in the dynamic world of futsal. This high-intensity, small-sided game is renowned for developing players' technical skills and game intelligence.

What is Futsal?

Imagine fitting 90 players onto a full-size football pitch - 45 on each side.
This number comes from calculating how many futsal courts (each 5-a-side) can fit on a standard football pitch. By placing 9 futsal courts into one football pitch, you get 90 players. This comparison highlights the intense, fast-paced environment of futsal, which hones skills like agility, ball control, and quick decision-making. These vital techniques seamlessly translate to the football field, giving your child a competitive edge.
