<p align="left"><strong>Try the game</strong> 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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
