Fun, fast-paced gameplay maximizes touches on the ball and engagement.

The continuous play demands players to think quickly, make fast decisions and execute with accuracy.

The space and time constraints of the game encourages the players to be creative and experiment, to find the correct solutions.

Key player qualities to excel in SpeedFutbol

Soccer IQ (Situational Awareness)

Players need to be able to take on all relevant stimuli of the fast-paced game, process quickly and execute the correct action with maximal effect. Stimuli examples include the ball position, location of teammates, location of opposition, time/state of game, game strategy.

Playing Under Time / Space Pressure

Players need to think, act and play under the pressure of limited time and space. They must create space/time when attacking and reduce time/space when defending.

Exploit Moments of Transition

SpeedFutbol is a game of constant transition from attacking to defending to attacking. These moments can create stress for players/teams and the top players are able to exploit this.

Effective in 1v1 Duels

SpeedFutbol by design consistently creates 1v1 situations, whether defending or attacking. The advanced players can effectively win these duels to create team success.

Creating Overloads and Advantages

Recognizing how and when to create advantages, with and without the ball, is the essence of elite team performance. SpeedFutbol provides countless opportunities to challenge the players to think and play collectively to achieve success.
