P.S.: in case you are new to Futsal (indoor soccer) here some info:

*Try the game* that Pele and Ronaldo played: Futsal/Five-a-Side. It's
the world's official indoor soccer game, played within the existing side
and end lines of a basketball court without the need for sidewalls or
artificial turf. The term, "Futsal," is derived from the Spanish,
"futbol sala," meaning indoor soccer. It also is referred to as indoor
five-a-side. In the United States, it originally was referred to as
"minisoccer."

Futsal is gaining rapid popularity in the U.S. because it adapts so well
to existing facilities. For instance, it is now being played in
gymnasiums throughout the country by the Boys and Girls Clubs of
America. Anywhere you have a basketball gym, from Key West, Fla., to
Ketchikan, Alaska, you can play Futsal, and you can play it on outdoor
courts, as well.

Futsal is one of the world's great skill-developers for youth players.
Pele, Zico and Socrates of Brazilian World Cup fame grew up playing the
game, and Brazil's recent World Cup stars, Romario and Bebeto, have
played it extensively. Ronaldo played it until he was 16. Futsal is an
ingeniously condensed version of the outdoor game that preserves the
outdoor game's true time and space relationships. The ball-handling
speed and skill and quick thinking of Futsal translate directly to the
outdoor game - around both goals and in the thick of midfield battle.
