Futsal Report

On Sunday, April 21st, we held a shooting & GK school for elementary school students at the Clubhouse Futsal Court.

We divided the participants into four categories: 1st and 2nd graders, 3rd graders, 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, and goalkeepers.

For 1st and 2nd graders, instead of focusing on shooting, we taught them about the quality of kicking. We practiced how to kick the ball straight and how to shoot powerfully, focusing on which part of the foot to use. They challenged themselves not only with their dominant foot but also with their non-dominant foot.For 3rd graders, we focused on "stopping and kicking," which is crucial for shooting.

The position where you stop (trap) the ball is important; it's difficult to shoot if the ball is too close to your feet. However, if you trap the ball too far forward, there's a high chance it will be taken away in a real game. So, we practiced one-on-one passing to find a position that allows for an easy shot and is less likely to be stolen by an opponent.

We also encouraged them to be shot-conscious in 3v3 games, asking them to think about where to place the ball to take a shot that leads to a goal.For 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, we started by practicing kicking a stationary ball accurately. If you can't accurately kick a stationary ball with the correct part of your foot, it's even harder to kick a moving ball, so we focused on practicing kicking a stationary ball.

The key points we emphasized were the position of the non-kicking foot and the kicking posture. We explained that if your non-kicking foot is not beside the ball but in front or behind it, it's difficult to kick the ball as intended, and if your posture is unbalanced, it's hard to kick the ball powerfully.

During shooting practice and games, goalkeepers also participated, making it a practical training format.During the goalkeeper warm-up, we practiced basic techniques such as ball feeling and catching. For front dive ball catches, we instructed them to play directly towards the ball and to maintain a low center of gravity.
We also performed saving practice, with goalkeepers joining the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in shooting practice.A total of 56 participants attended this Shooting & GK School.
