My Introduction to 4-a-Side Soccer

I play in a rather unique league - it's 4-a-side soccer - unisex too. It's no contact and BOY is it tiring. There's so much running around. Nobody really has a position except the goalie. With just 3 outfield players you do have to cover a lot of ground - but it's a great way to keep fit. The pitch regularly undergoes artificial pitch maintenance so it's always in good condition.
Since playing this league, I've noticed my fitness levels improve drastically. I know this because I was recently invited to play a 5-a-side game and couldn't believe how easy it was - while other players were doubled over in exhaustion after 20 minutes, I was wondering why I didn't have to run around so much! So it goes to show - sometimes if you partake in challenging sports, it pushes you that extra mile. Whoever invented 4-a-side soccer was pretty astute - if a little cruel!
