Soccer/Futsal

Gone are the days when primary-school children were forced to endure painful impacts from heavy leather footballs. While advancements in technology have led to lighter balls, more needs to be done to protect children. Futsal, a Fifa-approved version of five-a-side football that emphasizes technical skill and ball control, is a prime example of this, as players rely more on their footwork and less on heading the ball. Futsal is a game that rewards intelligence and strategy.
