Playing futsal with a formation is as important as in playing in a normal football game. All the time, we often hear about formations in football, be it 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-1-2-1-2. Futsal also have it's formation with it's 4 players. YES! 4 players can have it's formation. In fact, lesser the amount of player, lesser the amount of formation possibilities (Simple maths probability).

Below i'm going share the 2 basic and most common formation in futsal, which is the:-
1. Box Shape (2-2) Formation
2. Diamond Shape (1-2-1) Formation

And also the 2 basic formation for attacking and defending, which is the:-
3. ATT Y-Shape (1-1-2) Formation
4. DEF Y-Shape (2-1-1) Formation

Have a look at how the national teams setup their teams. I saw the workshop 1st hand in december at loughbourough university taken by Ex Croatian International Mico Martic & Ex England Futsal Manager Graeme Dell. Very Impressive Stuff. Kev Bryant has the workshop on email so if your interested you can get the details from him.
