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?

Five-a-side rocks, it's better than 11-a-side to play in my opinion. So much quicker, more to do (especially if you're a striker like me).

Only ever play one tournament a year in the close season for my 11-a-side team, but it's still good fun. So is 7-a-side.

Yeah, about 15-20 of us usually go down to the leisure centre on Fridays.

Can be very tiring, but I enjoy playing it a lot more than I do 11 a side on full pitches. More fast paced, plus you get the ball more.

Every so often, at Goals in Queens Park.

You guys play that you can't lift the ball?

Same as Pro evo.

10 of us every sunday evening. Been doing it every week since last summer.

We recently started playing in a different hall which has smaller goals which has resulted in much fewer goals (both teams used to score 20, now lucky to get 10) But i guess it is improving our accuracy.

Oh, and it is a demanding game.

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

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

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.

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.
