Soccer training

In an effort to improve my fitness, i signed up for an adult soccer training program (free trial session) run by a group of professionals, and dragged a friend along. There are parts of it when i felt like my lungs were going to explode and knees were all wobbly, but overall it was good fun. Most of the drills center around "rondo" or as we call it locally "monkey", and the variations were very interesting and challenging, especially when you switch players randomly. The key to it all is of course possession of the ball and the drills were designed to make you think assess the situation quickly and make the pass. A little unsure whether to commit to the weekly sessions yet, but at least it is regular and the guys playing are friendly. =)
