DESPITE
its huge growth in popularity in recent years, futsal remains a sport
that is a mystery to many.
The easiest way to describe it is as a
five-a-side form of indoor football, but that is not a definition that
sits particularly comfortably with Graeme Dell.
A former England
futsal manager, Dell is employed by the Football Association to develop
the game in this country, and is a member of the management team at
Swindon’s @Futsal arena.
I meet the 46-year-old at the Kembrey
Park facility, and am keen to find out whether he believes futsal stands
on its own two feet, or merely improves skills for the 11-a-side game.
Manchester was excellent, every opportunity and half chance was taken with clinical ease. Had they the better players? The score line says yes. Deeper anaysis tells me our English players was as good as their Manchester counterparts, it was the the oppositions players of foreign nationality that gave them such a cutting edge. Players that was technically excellent with an annoying speed of thought.
Add to this concoction a Brazilian manager training his team 3 nights a week and we was left with 'egg on our faces.'
Before the game he told me 'that in Brazil schools only play futsal, never 11v11.'
My immediate after game feeling was of despair that such a sold Grimsby group of players was beaten so comprehensively without them scoring a goal. Do I/we give up. Who fancies Sheffield next week? It will not be much easier then, Sheffield are level Manchester for top spot.
Eventually the message kicks in, giving up is for losers, I want to play like Manchester, I want to see a Grimsby born 'Brazilian.'
The Grimzilan is long term work in progress, I have a groups' of 5-10 year old training futsal, the more I can keep them off mini soccer and 11v11 the greater my chances of that star player.
Starting this Thursday onwards FC Grimsby will train futsal, venue and time to be confirmed. Being beaten 10 -0 has left a bad taste that needs to be removed.
Perfect preparation prevents a p... p... performance.
To add perspective to the score Grimsby had 2 players back after long term injury, futsal at this level does not give you time to pick up the pace of the game. Add to that 1 new face and life is made harder than it would otherwise have been. 2 goals conced within 4 minutes was a game killing start, credit to the players that they then defended to half time as well as any Grimsby performance I have seen; losing only 1 more goal. A late surge of goals caused the disatrouse score line.

Many of you will know Ben either from his Grimsby Futsal League
days with Magpies or more recently El Dogo's.
Ben studied sports science at Middlesbrough University during which
time he was star player for Middlesbrough Futsal Club, a success that
led to him being a regular member of the England Futsal team.
Having such continuous success at such a young age, makes one wander
where, and what Ben will have achieved in 5 years time.
Just a thought, has Ben been employed because Mr Woods thinks he can
improve the fitness of players or is Mr Woods accepted that his current
youth development methods, no saleable players produced in 10 years, are
not working?
(Grimsby Telegraph 14th May 2010.
'We.ve seen constantly over the last ten years where youth players
who have been outstanding at Youth level have not made the next step
up.' Neal Woods)
The Premier league is dominated by foreign footballers coached
futsal, should Grimsby Town wake up to this fact and nurture its own
futsal (football) stars. Sports science studies suggest they should
'wake up and smell the coffee.'

It could be futsal or football based.
The GFL has been invited to take a group of under 13 futsal players to play 7v7 football at the Manchester City training centre.
Grimsby Soccer Club futsal u/10's impressed when they went 2009 and as a result we have been invited back spring bank holiday 2010.
Manchester City are the first Premier League club to my knowledge to be actively promoting futsal, the club has its own development centre in Sheffield.
The lucky players, as well as getting to play on the clubs 3g 7v7 training court will in the afternoon get a guided tour of the Eastlands Stadium.
