Indoor is considered in many countries throughout the world, especially in Europe and South America to be more suitable for children for the following reasons:

  • Smaller playing area more adept to younger players who are not as fit or do not have the power and range in passing and shooting
  • Shorter overall time as younger players do not have a developed base of fitness
  • Less players allowing teamwork to be developed easier
  • Allows 'first touch', shot accuracy and ball control to be developed quicker as playing areas are smaller
  • Free form positioning - encouraging movement off the ball

I have heard that in Brazil you are not allowed to play outfield soccer until you are 16. 15 and under are forced to play 'futsal' (a modified indoor soccer, with similar rules to outdoor). I believe the Brazilian Football Federation did this for some of the above reasons.
