Class Futsal (Elective Modality II - Sports Training branch)

Futsal is a collaborative/adversarial 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.

Theoretical, theoretical-practical and practical/fieldwork classes will be taught. The b-learning system (moodle) will be used to provide teaching material and a discussion forum. In the continuous assessment, students will have to complete two assignments and two practical assessments. The final grade is obtained by: 0.2*Frequency+0.5*Practical assessment+0.3*Discussions.  Continuous assessment: weighted average equal to or greater than 9.5 points; minimum mark in assessment periods of 9.5 points, possibility of recovery to 9.5 points in periods with a mark of less than 9.5 points and a weighted average of 9.5 points. In the case of in-class assessment moments, with the exception of formal assessment tests, there may be the possibility of an average of 9.5 points for several moments (e.g. class questions; class worksheets; small assessment tasks; etc). In the practical component, a minimum mark of 9.5 or more.
