Play in our recent sessions has been very swift, so in an attempt to slow the pace down (without the need for constant referee intervention) we played last night with a regulation size 4 Futsal.
Overall the experiment was well received. The lack of bounce takes a little getting used to, but the ball does tend to stick at your feet. meaning its under better control, and it requires passing with a lot more precision. The downside is that shooting requires a lot more power & effort.
As anticipated, the resultant pace of the game was slowed down, as we all seemed to concentrating a lot harder on controlled play.
The experiment will be continued.
