Class Futsal (Elective Modality II - Sports Training branch)

Futsal is a collaborative team game in which players are required to adapt to change within a dynamic environment. An environment in which they have a restricted amount of time and space in which to make decisions and perform actions that provide solutions for their team. Futsal implies a high level of motor involvement and intense practice, with tactical aspects (in terms of perception and decision making) being crucial to the effectiveness of each element of the game. The knowledge, skills and aptitudes in this area enrich the basis for intervention by the Sports Coaching professional, specifically in terms of understanding training and leading groups.

The course will comprise theoretical lectures, theoretical-practical sessions and practical teaching/fieldwork sessions. The b-learning system will be used to provide teaching materials. For continuous assessment, students will have: two attendance checks and two practical assessments (final mark: 0.2 × Attendance + 0.5 × Practical assessment + 0.3 × Discussions). The requirement for a minimum mark of 9.5 in each assessment component, in addition to achieving a final weighted average of 9.5 or higher, reflects the Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education and Sport's commitment to academic rigour and the quality of education. This requirement aims to ensure that students demonstrate the acquisition of essential competences across all components of the course module, promoting a solid education, professional responsibility and academic merit, which are fundamental to ethical, critical and competent practice within the profession.
