November 27 – Futsal – Play it!

Please see the following announcement regarding futsal for high school girls. This is an excellent opportunity to improve your foot skills and; at one hour per week; a great opportunity for those playing another winter sport to mix in a bit of soccer.

This activity is: Highly Recommended by Coach

FUTSAL for High School Girls
Futsal is indoor soccer played on a basketball court with a smaller, heavier ball.  A major sport in Brazil, futsal emphasizes ball control and short quick runs, stressing creativity and technique.  A great opportunity for players to maintain their touch between seasons and develop the tactics and technique more typical of the South American game.  We will emphasize a single fundamental skill each session with the majority of time spent scrimmaging. Please bring a water bottle, grey shirt, shin guards and rubber-soled flat athletic/indoor soccer shoes. (16 Player Max)

FEE:  $40;  Non-Residents: $45
*Sundays, Nov. 13th – April 8th (20 wks) *will not meet on 12/25/2011 or 1/1/2012   3-4:15pm in the Marion Cross School Gym
