REFEREE Q & A
Why does Premier Futsal NOT allow keepers to
throw the ball into the opponents' penalty arc
or drop kick it?
Futsal is a game of possession and allowing the
GK to "Hail Mary" the ball into the opponent's
arc works against the possession concept.
Futsal is designed to teach the players with the
ball to look for open players, the players
without the ball to get open and the team as a
whole to build up the attack through
possession. Long kicks or throws into a crowded
area introduces more collisions, which futsal
tries to avoid.
If a sideline kick-in never enters the field (it
is kicked out of bounds on the sideline), why
does the other team get the ball?
Since the ball is placed on the line for a
kick-in, the ball is in the field of play before
it is kicked. When a player kicks the ball out
of bounds over the sideline, he kicked from an
in-play position to out of bounds. Other team
gets the ball. |
