Objective of the study was to offer and analyze benefits of a set of informative criteria for the sport identification and selection service in youth futsal.
Methods and structure of the study. Youth futsal prospects were rated by an expert team from the Sergiev Posad Sports School in Moscow Oblast (n=12) including the Top Class (n=3) and Class I (n=9) coaches. The expert team rated teamwork/ competitive performance of the junior prospects on a five-point scale using a set of informative criteria.
Results and conclusion. Competitive performance is commonly applied as a key competitive fitness and potential success criterion in the modern futsal; whilst the competitive performance as such depends on a wide range of individual physical, athletic, technical, tactical and mental fitness factors and their contributions to the teamwork. The expert team ranked technical fitness as the key criterion and training element for the 10/ 14 year-old athletes. In case of the 10-year-olds, training systems will prioritize the training elements as follows: technical, physical, psychological and tactical elements, plus the individual anthropometrics; whilst the 14-year-olds’ training systems will be focused on the technical, tactical, physical and psychological training elements plus the individual anthropometric characteristics.

Keywords: futsal, athletes, selection and sport identification, expert valuations, informative criteria, individual features.
