What is Futsal?
'The origin of Futsal can be traced back to Montevideo, Uruguay,
in 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani devised a five-a-side version
of soccer for youth competion in YMCAs. The game is played
on basketball-sized courts, both indoors and out without the
use of sidewalls. The term FUTSAL is the international term
used for the game. It is derived from the Spanish or Portuguese
word for "soccer", FUTbol or FUTebol, and the French
or Spanish word for "indoor", SALon or SALa.'
