Canaan's futsal team started with the pioneers who played football which are Daniel Mok, Derek Mok , Daric Ong, Wilson , Shan and Andy . A young Clifford Choo joined in when he was invited .During that time Wilson was the captain of the team. Clifford's younger brother had joined in for a few matches as a defender.
Due to weather conditions and a preparation for a inter-church competition they switched to a futsal court next to the Sri Petaling , Carrefour. They sticked with playing futsal. Future manager Ju Yuan was the one who wanted came out with the idea of dropping football and continue with futsal which was much better.Ju Yuan rounded up Benjamin Khor, Brandon Khor , Ju Liang and Ju Ping who started out as a Keeper .This was in 2004.The early players were Jeffrey, Joel,Zhi Yong,Clifford ,the Wong and Khor brothers ,Teacher Derek and Keeper Daniel Mok.
In 2005 the futsal fever ,brought in some new talents which are Roderick who was brought in by church member Yee Kit in which he immediately show his highly admirable skills,Weng Kit who by his second match earn his King of Easy Scorer alongside his easy scoring pier Jhow Weh '' Mo Lah'', Clement who started as silent defend and Blast King Austin who fitted instantly.During the year they participated in some very influential matches leaded by new captain Clifford Choo.
2006 was a great year for the team as they won many matches against other churches and competitions as well.Teacher Brandon ,Jason(brought in by Roderick),Jason Lim,and easy scorer Joshua Lim were the new players.The team participated in a very important tournament in Kuchai Lama which they got third place.
In 2007 the team was developed into one of the best teams for inter-churches with everyones talents including Jeffrey newly found easy scoring abilities, Clement 's abilities in goal keeping and many others who found their gifts.They had their final battle against Emmanuel Baptist in which they won.Though some players did not participate such as Clement which is because he hasnt started playing as goal keeper yet, Weng Kit, and Roderick because he wasn't a church member which was why he wasn't asked to play.

Strikers The Big Boss 2
Easy Scorers:
The easiest and also the hardest position to play in futsal are these. Although this positions are very seldom used .It is also one of the most score winners as they are the ones who bring in the goals . They usually stand very close to the opponents goal. It is not a very easy job as it takes very crucial timing to get the ball in.You must stay alert for opportunities. It is not that easy taking these positions.
Sometimes when other strikers fail to get the ball in when the keeper block it away but did not catch it ,they will take advantage and bring it in . No keeper has ever been able to save this shots.Through my experiences this are the underdogs that you need to watch. East Scorers would usually head the ball in when ball is crossed towards them. Their chances are very high as their positioning are very close to the goal.
Sometimes very well experienced easy scorers will follow the strikers around and bring support and also take missing opportunities when the strikers fail their the heroes to score. They might even stand directly in front of the keeper to block his view that they might help powerhouse strikers score.

Runners:
This are the tough guys of futsal.They charge like a rocket when opportunities come.Their stamina are extremely high as their able to run with much speed but still maintain control of the ball.They are not able to be stopped when they are attacking.Runners will usually play with a slow speed charging and when they are in the right area they will charge coming through with the ball right towards the goal and attack the lower sides of the goal while keepers are not ready but in certain matches and players like Clifford Choo who would charge with all his energy and end with a tough blast which most keeper in heart will hide in fear of the rage.
Runners are extremely rare and hard to find.They will attack at any moment but can be stop by having more playyers back instead of having just one last man against them.Their very well known for their dribbling skills.They will usually take most control.Most runners must have alot of experience to know where to head and when.

Keeper Gloves of Fury
Keepers are the heart of the team.Strikers always ask them for the ball.Always depend on them when something goes wrong.Always swift and given a small time of glory. A keeper must never keep his eyes of the ball. Anytime the ball might come to him. Their the decision makers. As a keeper you must be ready to look the ball right at your face . When given heavy blast air shots ,make sure all the corners of the goal post are within your security. Be ready when the ball is coming. During long shots always be thinking .Watching the ball as it comes try to catch it or at least push it away.When theres a striker or defend empty slap the ball to them if their close to you.
In one on one situation be calm and patient.The last thing you want is to turn your back and hope for the ball to hit you.You stay calm and wait .When the striker get closer lower your arms to your knees.It is known as the gorilla stance .In certain situation you may slide when the striker is about to shoot ,so that the ball may reflect on your knees or body .l
The keepers are the human shield so be prepared to jump out and get hit when strikers shoot at close range.always keep your hands up when doing that.In futsal you should be ready to block with your body. You need to predict the opponents shooting area to block it away.
Always make sure you now where the other players are so sudden attacks could be save.Most of the time one man show striker are gonna attack the lower side of the goal so be sure to keep your knees bend at all time.

Last Man. The Way Of The Defender
A last mans job is simple. Stay back for all time. Always remember your job is to be the goalies savior.Personally as a Keeper myself I always think of the last man as a hero. Last man should always be ready to be shot at. Because whenever an opponent blast to the goal you should always be there to try to block it away ,regardless how painful it is.
But always make sure you don't block the keepers view.That is very important because the keeper needs to know where the ball is. Most keeper will see that the reason they fail was because they were blocked.
Most last man hates are:
When the striker goes through them.
Forced to make decisions when given the ball.
Sometimes when needed up front have to run back as fast as possible.
Last mans needed powers
Blasting strength to bring the ball up in desperate situation.
Tackling skills.
Suitable size though smaller sizes are still fine.
Jumping ability.
Must be able to stand blasting pain.
