Indoor Soccer - YMCA Style

Jacob is currently playing in two indoor soccer leagues.  The first one is at an actual indoor soccer field with several teams of kids who play nothing but soccer all year long.  On the other hand, Jacob's team does nothing but show up on Monday nights, play the game, and go home.  All things considered, they aren't too bad - maybe 50/50. 

The second soccer league (pictured) is at the YMCA, where recreation is key.  The funny part about playing at the Y is that a giant curtain forms one "wall" and a row of parents in chairs form the other wall.  Balls hit both with a similar thud/drop/stop in place.  Also the goal is small and scoring is more a matter of luck than skill.  In this league, too, they are about 50/50.  BTW - you can always find Jacob on any soccer field because of his day-glo socks.
