"5-A-Side Football"

Just been playing now with my dad and his mates. Christ it's hard, especially against men. And when the ball hits you christ it hurts. But it's good fun though.

Keeps you fit. Does anyoene else here play 5-A-Side?

Yea. every sunday evening for two hours. Good but you pay in the mornings.

yeah i play several times a week, prefer it realy in away as its a bit more social, yet victory is less rewarding

Yep, played in a Tournament on Sunday, came second. Pretty good considering two of the teams from the under 18's tournament had to be put into our one because no one showed up.

Plus I scored.

: D

Every Friday with the work lads, it is difficult if you haven't played for a while but it gives you a good work out.

Played for a team in a tournement and was 3rd in the league. We then got chucked out.

oined another league and ended up finishing bottom but one.

Good exercise and I find it more fun than 11-A-Side.

Yup, play every week, not in a league though. Its just 10 of us lads at the sports hall every week, random teams, and play for an hour. Usually have very good games, and we enter comps from time to time.

The game keeps you really fit as its played so fast. If we ever have someone come in to cover for someone else, they usually cant keep up.

When I started playing the skin off my feet used to rip to shreads, which wasn't very pleasant, due to the fact you're constantly running back and forth.

Top Tip: Put vaseline on your feet. And now I don't have to endure extreme flesh pain to play :D

Yeah, playing tonight actually.

We're joint 2nd out of 6 in our league... think we can win it now we have a keeper to be honest.

Oh, and it is a demanding game.

I've actually had to learn how to defend/mark instead of being the selfless striker.
