Futsal

Sage has started playing Futsal after school on Monday. She is playing is the famous SSFL (Sudbury Soccer Futsal League) and has a sweet shirt to prove it. What is Futsal? Cross a basketball court with the rules of soccer and you have it. The ball is heavier and barely bounces. The game requires good football and does not value power and speed (Sage's strengths) as much as outdoor soccer. Sage's Thistle team has won their first three games, so she likes the sport... anybody noticing the relation between winning and enjoyment? We won't even go into the indoor soccer game against the really small third graders... needless to say, we didn't 'enjoy' that one.
