Futsal

Futsal (pronounced Foot-sul) is another name for indoor football. Every Monday at 5 o'clock after school, I go to the Civic Centre in Greymouth to play. A teacher from the high school called Ciaran organises it, he also plays. There are 3 more people around my age, but every one else is older. 

The rules vary slightly from the 11 a-side football we all know. The rules are basically the same, but the big major difference is that instead of 11 a-side, it's 5 players on each team. Another change of rules is that instead of a throw-in, you actually put it down on the side and kick it in. Also, when it is a goal kick, you can pick it up and throw it. Lastly, there are no offsides, which I find great. 

Those are basically the rules, everything else stays the same. Well, that is what I do every Monday for an hour and a half. It is really fun, and I enjoy playing it.
