I'm jealous of y'all--I can only play three times a week out at the local Air Force base in a game of pick-up.

THE MACHO MAN posted:So for some reason we had an extra large group yesterday and broke into a second game, picking up a few randoms to make up the difference. Two of the people that joined were these two girls, and holy poo poo, this one girl was good. Related to this... I play pickup at the AFB nearby on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Generally, it's Air Force dudes on their lunch breaks. The skill level is pretty decent, actually, given the international qualities military bases can bring. Anywho, during the summer, there's a lot of college kids who come in whose dads are military folk, and all of us younger folk often end up on the same team. For the better part of last month there was this girl who was exactly as you described, and she was playing the "big striker" portion of our pair up, since I, despite my 6'3" self am not very strong on the ball, but have a decent amount of flair. It was just awesome to see this little person holding up and keeping the ball glued to her feet and feeding me crosses while 35 year old military dudes were trying to muscle her off.

For what it's worth, my dad has been playing goal in hockey since he was a teenager, and he's involved in training and in camps around the area--he's got mega-chops. Anyhow, my sister and I got him into watching matches with us years ago, and just from osmosis, he's begun to love football, too. Of course, he's super interested in goalkeeping, and he goes on all the time about how the principles are really close to the same; cutting down the angle, distribution, communication and the likes. I bet you're already better than 90% of 5-a-side indoor keeps simply because of your hockey experience. 5-a-side Indoor is really close to hockey, tactically. ...In my opinion.
