As well as being a fun physical activity, futsal classes offer a range of benefits that contribute to the students' all-round development. Classes promote physical development, improving endurance, motor coordination, agility and strength. Regular practice of this sport helps to combat sedentary lifestyles and contributes to cardiovascular health and muscle strengthening. In addition, futsal is an activity that can be practiced by students of different ages and skill levels, making it accessible to everyone.
 
Futsal is a team sport that requires collaboration and communication between players. During lessons, students learn to work as a team, respect the rules and value the role of each member of the group. These social skills are fundamental to their personal and professional development, preparing them for future interactions in a variety of contexts.
Futsal requires discipline and concentration. Students need to follow the rules of the game, pay attention to their teacher's instructions and stay focused during matches. These skills are transferable to the school environment, where concentration and discipline are essential for learning and academic success.
 
The classes also promote healthy competitiveness. Students have the opportunity to take part in games and tournaments, where they can test their skills and learn to deal with winning and losing. This experience is valuable for emotional development, as it teaches resilience and the importance of hard work.
Futsal is an inclusive sport that can be played by everyone, regardless of skill level. Classes are a great opportunity for students to have fun, make new friends and feel part of a community. Fun is a crucial element in keeping students engaged and motivated to take part in physical activities.
 
Futsal classes in schools are much more than just a physical activity; they play a fundamental role in students' all-round development. By promoting physical, social and emotional skills, futsal contributes to the formation of healthier, more disciplined young people who are prepared to face life's challenges. It is therefore essential that schools recognize the importance of this sport and include it in their educational proposals.
Futsal classes at Escola Internacional de Alphaville are offered to children from the age of 2! Together, let's encourage our students to get moving and have fun with futsal!
