April 12 and 14: Futsal

It’s a fast-paced version of soccer — with a couple of twists. Head to Kuehn Community Center from 6 to 7 p.m. to try it out. The game is played five-on-five versus 11 playing 11, giving everyone plenty of playing time. Plus futsal uses a special weighted indoor ball to ensure maximum control. Don’t have a team? You’ll have one once you arrive in this “pickup game” format. All levels are welcome. Registration required, though it’s free. Click here.
