Sports Event Planners

The teams each sent out five players, and the action on the courts was fast and furious at the Raleigh Convention Center the first weekend in 2020. But this wasn’t basketball. This was futsal, best described as smaller-scale soccer with fewer players and faster restarts than the outdoor, 11-v-11 version. Unlike its indoor soccer counterpart, futsal doesn’t have boards to keep the ball, and ricochets, in play. Futsal gives budding soccer players a chance to work on their foot skills in tight quarters and stay active until outdoor season. With four field players and a goalie, each player is important on offense and defense.
