Playing positions in Futsal

Goalkeeper

Defender (Fixo) Right Winger

Left Winger Pivot or Striker

The goalkeeper • The most specialised position on the field as they

are only players allowed to use their arms and hands to stop the opposition from scoring

• The also have the opportunity to leave their area to partake in normal play with alongside outfield players.

• The goalkeepers capacity to utilise their feet effectively outside the area is crucial to a teams success

The central defender (Fixo) • The central defender (fixo) is an outfield

player who’s role is to – Prevent the opposing team from scoring

and/or creating scoring chances – Maintain possession and start attacking plays – Take on the role of a surprise attacker by

invading the opposing teams area unmarked in order to shoot at goal

The Wingers • They perform both defensive and

attacking roles within the field of play

• They’re responsible for creating scoring opportunities via individual skill or quick passing

• Their play is mainly on the flanks of the pitch although they occasionally drift to the centre

The Striker (Pivot)

• They conduct much of their play with their back to g

• They’re responsible for interlinking attacking plays with their team mates and to score when the opportunity arises

• They spend much of their time in the opposing teams penalty area

Task 5 – Systems of play

• In small group, can you please state how many different systems of play their are in futsal and comment on their advantages and disadvantages (10 minutes)

Systems of play

• The main systems of play include: the 2:2, 2:1:1, 1:2:1, 3:1 and 4:0.

• The most recognized formations taught to young players are the 2:2, 1:2:1 and 2:2:1.

• Within each system there are variations

The 2:2 system of play • One of the first systems that was introduced in the 1950´s

• It consists of – 2 players positioned in the defensive area (1CD and 1 winger) – 2 players positioned in the offensive area (1 winger and 1 striker)

• Approach that requires players to rely on making the direct pass up the pitch from the defensive area to the offensive area

• Does not require quick interchangeable passing or high levels of physical fitness

• There are 4 main variations of the 2:2 system of play, being the ´basic´ 2:2 system of play, the 2:2 ´rectangle shape´, the 2:2 ´Y shape´ and the 2:2 ´L shape´

2:2 básico

2:2 caixote

2:2 em L

2:2 em Y

The 1:2:1 System of play • The 1:2:1 system of play is one of the oldest formations • It is not used in modern day Futsal due to that it limits players

being able to move and interchange freely around the pitch

• It consists of one defender who barely moves position, two wingers and one fixed attacker

• Attacker or pivot maintains a fixed position with the two wingers being quick, capable of providing constant defensive and attacking support

1:2:1

The 2:1:1 system of play • The 2:1:1 is comprised of 2 defenders, 1 midfield player and 1

attacking player

• It is a fairly defensive approach to playing the game

• Highly dependant upon having a midfield player who is physically fit and capable of constantly running, moving and creating scoring opportunities to the pivot player or alternatively themselves

• This system is often interchangeable, if the midfielder runs back to support defensive pair, then it becomes 3:1, whilst if midfielder takes up attacking positions in becomes 2:2

2:1:1

The 3:1 system of play • A modern system of play

• Allows for movement of players throughout the court

• The 3:1 system of play arrived as a result of rule changes, and increased physical and technical abilities of players

• It began with the interchangeable manner of play from players, whereby the 3 defensive players continuously change and switch positions on the field of play

• It is highly dependant upon physical fitness

• The striker (pivot) player can be used as a – Reference player (static pivot) – Moveable pivot

3:1 com pivô de referência

3:1 com pivô na ala

The 4:0 System of play

• The most modern system of play created in Spain

• It consists of a team of players who take up both defensive and attacking roles – In possession: players interchange without a reference pivot player– Without possession: all players take up defensive roles

• This game is reliant on counter attacking and invading the empty spaces behind the opposing teams defense

• Players should have high technical and physical ability

4:0

The 3:2 System of play • Most recently created due to goalkeepers being allowed to play outside

their penalty area

• It allows numerical advantage for the team in possession of the ball

• Goalkeepers are required to have a good ability of playing with their feet

• Goalkeepers take up central positions or on the wings

3:2

3:2 com marcação em caixote

3:2 com marcação em losângulo

3:2 com Goleiro na ala
