ATTACK
Keeping possession of the ball is the key to success in attack. The best way of attacking is to use the entire playing area in terms of length and width and taking action either individually or collectively. Passing is one very important element of an attack. Moving without the ball is another necessary element of an attack. They should always try to give the player with the ball more than one option for a pass. The players with the ball need to play and think fast and make quick decisions to create chances. Different positioning or systems apply to different situations. It is important however, to understand that these formations have to be used just as a starting position from which players are able to make adapt to the play and make various movements on the court, never staying static. The most common offensive systems in FUTSAL are 2-2, 3-1 and 4-0.
DEFENCE
The main goals of defense are to prevent the opposition from scoring and limit the opportunities by getting behind the ball and regaining the possession of the ball with pressure, balance and a close marking. Most of goals in FUTSAL are scored from the 'D' area (penalty box), so this 'D' zone and the area close to it must be very well protected.
Generally the areas in the center must be protected more carefully than areas on the sides because the probability of scoring from these areas is higher. There are two widely used defensive systems 2-2 (square) and 1-2-1 (rhombus). The goalkeeper is the last line of defense and should be made as active as possible.
