mixitwithblop posted:Can't find the futsal sized nets in the USA... but Amazon.co.uk will ship a pair for $240 usd total. Not too shabby. They're the cheapest fifa futsal sized light weight portable nets I've been able to find so far. I got bored one summer and made some FIFA reg. Futsal nets out of PVC pipe and netting. Think I spent $30, with most of that money going towards the net (Forced to get a full sized net and trim it down). I sketched mine out, but there's probably a guide to building better goals on one of those DIY sites if you want a step-by-step. Frankly, all the cheaper goals out there for Futsal are glorified camping tents with nets. But I'll admit it was like a full weekend I devoted to building mine. I definitely didn't value my time back then as much as I do now.

Well, the most important thing is fulfilling what's expected of you in your position. Are you expected to distribute the ball (Therefore sticking closer to the sidelines, doing overlaps, getting to the byline, crossing, getting back and defending) or are you expected to get goals (Stay forward, cut in, find gaps in the defense to make runs)? You can do both, but you're doing the work of multiple players at that point. Other than that, it's all about looking at what you're up against. The usual stuff like finding the space between their midfield/defense/goal, then exploiting it. Examples: -If they play a high line and you know you're faster than they are, stay on their shoulder and just be ready for long balls. With so much space between their defense and goal, you're going to be going one-on-one with the keeper all day long. -If they player a deeper line, that's more space that their midfield has to cover (Assuming their team isn't playing like Greece circa 2004), so there's more likely going to be holes between defense and midfield. Especially on the wings or at the top of the box, great places to draw defenders out and give people avenues to run through. -If their fullbacks think they're Dani Alves, that means you're either going to be forced to defend more or you'll be able to exploit the fact that they only have 3 defenders back covering. It's usually better to exploit that trick later in the game, since their fullbacks will more than likely be too tired from the marathon they just got done running.

Do you plan on playing outdoor as well? Smaller pitches in indoor obviously lend themselves to faster play and shorter passes. You'll have a lot more ground to cover if you plan on playing outdoor. The two biggest problems wing backs face are: 1.) Going too far forward too often and not tracking back. You can tire out quickly if you're bombing forward constantly and wingers/forwards will take advantage of the space you give them. You shouldn't go forward if the ball is on the opposite sideline and that left wing back is already going forward. You need to be back there with your central defenders in case poo poo goes south. 2.) Chasing every winger who thinks they're Ashley Young. When you get suckered out towards the sideline, you leave a huge gap between you and the closest central defender. You can hope your midfielder tracks back and covers that space to prevent runs or you can play it cool and keep a tight defensive line. Usually that midfielder friend of yours is too slow and someone on the other team will always take advantage of that. Most wingers will cut in and run at you if you give them that opportunity. Let 'em. You can stand your ground and you know you got your central defenders nearby in case you cock it up. Other than that, get used to overlapping and crossing. It's your bread an butter.

As a fullback: Running and Crossing. And Crossing while Running. As far as defensive stuff, the only thing you can really do by yourself is watch defenders playing. Footwork stuff, anything that forces you to quickly change direction, is good too. But that's really good for everyone, not specifically defenders.

Ankle braces blow. You either get the firm ones with plastics bits that restrict movement too much (which are honestly meant more for basketball players) or you get the softer ones that are like wearing a tight sock. Both only provide a false sense of security and inevitable frustration. It's been a long time since your injury, so the only thing I can recommend is to just keep focusing on improving that ankle in the gym. Single leg work is great, but include stuff like plyometrics. I still have lingering ankle pain after two serious injuries. Joint injuries are the worst.

The lovely thing is that you're in a position where you either run everywhere to find/create space or you deal with the limited space you have. It's all dependent on what your coach/manager wants, but going deep and building from the center circle is how you draw defenders out and make space for yourself up the pitch. But, if your coach/manager is saying he wants you staying forward more, then it's about making opposition defenders think that someone else is marking you. When one of those defensive midfielders steps towards another player (usually the one with the ball), you're behind him far enough where you would feel comfortable getting the ball but close enough to make the other midfielder/CB think that you're marked.

Whatever you enjoy doing other than football. Anything associated with football is just going to remind you of the turdburglars you just played. I had one friend who bought one of those lovely standing punching busts (the one with the robot face and lights that show you where to punch for "a good workout") and he liked to use it after just any really physical game, whether the other team were jerks or not. Me, personally, I just want to zone out and forget about everything even if it's just a normal loss, so I'll usually do netflix. Here's some schadenfreude to maybe help a bit. A couple months back, playing some indoor, we lost like 12-4 to a team that literally celebrated every goal like it a was a cup final. Once they got 4 goals up on us, they started busting out the "tekkerz." Was embarrassing. A couple weeks ago I had a guy refuse to shake my hand, no joke, because I was "mean," and made a point to shake the hand of every other team mate except one other player (who was also called "not very nice"). I have never seen a grown man act so bitchy in my entire life.

Ankle injuries can vary a lot. It really depends on severity, how active you are after the injury, and what you do for rehab. If you haven't already, just go see a doctor.Adulterous Hitler posted:

If this guy has even the remotest chance of seriously injuring someone, tell him straight to his face that he's not welcome. Who can really miss work because of weekly pick up? It's pretty courteous to talk to the friend first about it, as maybe he can handle the situation in a tactful manner, but whatever. The guy sounds like an rear end in a top hat.

Shrapnac posted:I still maintain you're less likely to get an anklebreaker from one of those guys then you are the 40 pound overweight soccer dad. Honestly all shinpads give you are the illusion of safety, they don't protect enough to really be of much use. I don't know. Anecdotally, I've only run into maybe 3 players that really fit that description (excluding age) in the less competitive leagues I've played in. The more competitive ones feel like they are more physical because the players expect us to be more technical and fast. It also feels like because the level of skill is in more parity and games are closer that the physicality increases. Maybe it's a regional thing. Or maybe the more talented players where I live are just bitter that they didn't make it. I'm definitely more cautious in those leagues, though.

I think if you find a lower league team with a practice squad, that'd be way better than just doing anything by yourself or with one guy price gouging you. It's difficult to find a club like that, though, because most of them don't like putting even their reserves against a bunch of cloggers that could injure someone. Stanway used to have one before they changed managers.

Charlotte Hornets posted:Going into a high tempo 7v7 or 5 a side for someone who has played 2 weeks will be...interesting. Nothing wrong with the 11 imo - more space, more time. Trial by fire, man. It really does force the mechanics and the understanding of how the game is played. Plus, you're way more likely to get touches on the ball so you can feel comfortable in possession in a game environment. But playing is playing, so any game time is a good time.

7v7 you'll get exposed if you don't have people hanging back. The fields are usually slightly bigger so it's good and convenient to have a reliable back pass. 5s I could understand everyone joining in, but you still need defensive people or you're just getting countered all day.

If you're playing in casual games, play different positions and rotate. If it's somewhat competitive, then you shouldn't be playing in forward positions if you're not comfortable with the ball at your feet.

You should probably cut down on the weight program. Maybe go to 3x5 on the main lifts and cut out some of the extraneous crap. Yup. To further elaborate, your body needs time to recover and you're not giving it any. The real unfortunate part is that you need to take maybe a week off if you want to get back to a healthy state before working out again.
