“…Futsal and soccer players performed 5-vs-5 plus goalkeeper games with their respective task constraints, i.e., futsal players performed a modified futsal game with a futsal ball on a wooden pitch and with an individual playing area of 36m 2 /player, and soccer players performed a modified soccer game with a soccer ball on a synthetic-grass pitch with an individual playing area of 86m 2 /player. These modified games have been designed to be representative of the passing skill in futsal and soccer (for a full explanation see Oppici, Panchuk, Serpiello, & Farrow, 2019).…”

Both anecdotal and research evidence suggests that futsal could be a key developmental activity for soccer. Futsal task constraints (e.g., equipment and playing area) have been argued to promote the acquisition of perceptual-motor skills that positively transfer to soccer and, in turn, improve performance in soccer. However, a lack of empirical evidence in support of this argument limits current understanding. In this commentary, we discuss three studies that provide empirical support for the benefits of practicing the passing skill with futsal task constraints to enhance performance in soccer. Practicing futsal for more than 1000 h and learning the passing skill with the futsal ball promoted the development of a higher standard of passing relative to practicing with soccer constraints. Futsal task constraints promoted players' education of attention towards information specifying affordances and functional adaptability of the passing skill. These results should encourage national soccer federations and coaches to strongly consider the systematic introduction of futsal in the early stages of soccer development programs to promote talent development. Future research should examine the optimal balance of soccer and futsal practice, and the timing of specialisation to soccer, adopting the underpinning principles of representative learning design.

“…Futsal is characterized by lower limb movements specifically used to regulate the ball (passing), as well as torso movements and heading the ball using the head (Kocic, et al, 2016).8 This importance to pay attention to obstacles and potential that focus on passing skills and abilities in futsal (Oppici et al, 2019). 9 This is because almost all futsal games use passing. To master passing, needs mastery of movement so that the desired target is achieved.…”

Introduction: The passing technique requires a high skill level because the futsal field is narrow, and the distance between players is short, demanding strength and accuracy. An instrument of performance test is necessary to verify the evolution of this technique among the players. Objective: This study aims to develop a test instrument to measure the performance of futsal passing. Methods: Instrument preparation and reliability validity tests were applied in 120 athletes. Results: The results evidenced validity in the instrument with one minute passing time; that is, pass one is 0.855, and pass two is 0.857. The reliability value of the first Pass is 0.81, and the second Pass is 0.812. Conclusion: The development of the pass test tool is valid and reliable for its use in measuring the basic passing technique in soccer. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.
