[Sportsandrec] 5-A-Side Soccer//Football

[Lori M. Miller]

Daniele,

I know in the past PA has been were efforts have been made to make it 
happen. I'd love to see it as a clinic somewhere so that people could try it 
and be introduced to the sport. I believe the goalie is to have some usable 
vision, which I don't necessarily agree with, but I've never played either. 
I sure know in playing with the kids when I'm goalie, my goalball skills 
have come in handy.

I'd be interested to know what kind of ball they use. For recreational 
purposes I just place a plastic crinkley sack around a soccer ball. The one 
beeping soccer ball that I used, I was not impressed by because there was 
only one hole for the sound to be ommitted from thus when the ball rolled 
over the spot the sound was muffled or non existent and it interfered with 
tracking.

I'm sure there could be a good mechanics/skills content to it in learning 
how to kick, etc, dribbling, stopping, etc.

Lori
