On the 21st of April, our Year 8-9 Senior Boys students participated in the 2015 Annual ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ Schools FUTSAL Cup, played at Coburg Indoor Basketball Stadium.
Futsal is the official FIFA version of indoor soccer and indeed the only internationally recognised small sided game. Futsal uses a special low bounce ball, which encourages players to develop skills, sharpen their reflexes and improve their decision-making under pressure. With a 4 second restart rule, small playing area and unlimited substitutions the game offers non-stop action and significantly increases a player’s speed of play.
In overall, our Senior boys scored more than 10 goals in the 7 games played. They earned respect from the other schools that were defeated. Ten 10 boys in total were selected to form the Al ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ team and their efforts, team spirit and sportsmanship was acknowledge by all who were watching.
Well done, boys, on all your hard work for our team. I am greatly looking forward to coaching the Al ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ ¾ÞÈéÊÓƵ team next year once again, inshaAllah.
