Contract News

Exciting news on the soccer front. I've signed with a new team for the 2005-2006 indoor season. It's a win-win situation for both parties as they have been in pursuit of my services for the last two years and I have scouted them as a transfer possibility on a number of occasions. After a successful 2005 campaign they're looking to round out their squad with some quality players and work towards promotion in 2006. If the roster signing "meeting" is any indication it's going to be a fun season this winter, win or lose. (And I'm really looking forward to soccer being fun again.)

In addition to the new team, it will also be a new game. The Manitoba Major Soccer League has created a new Futsal league at the brand new Skylight Complex in East St. Paul. The league will use the standard FIFA Futsal rules with a few modifications.

The basic differences are:
  • No boards
  • Smaller ball (size 4)
  • Low-bounce ball
  • Some other minor rules changes related to stopping and starting of play
Should be a blast!
