5-a-side soccer is a fantastic way to grow, not just as a player, but socially as well!  Being that 5v5 is small sided it is inherently fast-paced, forcing players to get a lot of touches on the ball every time they are on the pitch.  Socially it forces you to become more comfortable communicating on the pitch with your team as well as having a great time playing the beautiful game.

5-a-side soccer is fast paced soccer played on a field that is 85’ x 55’. About the size of a basketball court or Futsal court.  Players of all ages, skills and abilities love 5-a -side whether it be for the amount of touches you get, the amount of goals you score, or the amount of fitness you receive.  The big question remains, when picking your teammates, what are you looking for?  Some players are technical, some are strong, fast, athletic,  leaders, and so on.
