Hi Ryan,
Congratulations on this great accomplishment.
I believe the students will benefit a lot from it and have enourmous
fun.

Here are some tips. Hopefully others will share their inputs as well.

2. Drills that focus on 2 parts of the feet not so much used in
outdoor soccer: the sole of the foot for trapping and the toes for
shots as the ball rolls away from you.

3. Try your Futsal Goals at http://www.soccer-
mania.com/kwikgoalfutsalgoals.html They have official ones and
portable ones.

4. Balls at http://soccerpro.com/acatalog/Futsal_Balls.html

5. Contact the US Futsal federation for information on the N/S
Carolina area at http://www.futsal.com/

Enjoy it.
