ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The paper aimed to compare the performance related to passing among the categories of professional and U-15 futsal players, in open and closed contexts.

Methods:
In total, 25 athletes were evaluated in 2 tests, namely open and closed contexts. The former aimed to observe the complexity of in-game execution in a dynamic and unpredictable mode, while the closed test simulated a closed and predictable task through the isolated execution of the pass. To compare the groups, the Student’s t and Mann-Whitney tests were used, respectively, with the level of significance at p < 0.05.

Results:
There were significant differences across categories in the performance related to the open pass skill (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the closed pass context (p = 0.414).

Conclusions:
Only the open context test identified differences in performance between categories, with the superiority of professional players.
