Indoor games are very fast paced and are taken place on a very small field. There is a total of 12 players on the field, six from each team. As you can tell this is a small sided game compared to the 22 players that are on the field for the usual 11 vs. 11 games. Indoor games are played on very rough turf and have walls surrounding the whole field. The field is shaped into an oval, not like the usual rectangle soccer fields. During indoor games you can use the wall to get pass a player but there is a height limit in this type of environment. The ball cannot hit the ceiling or the netting surrounding the sides and top of the indoor soccer stadium. If you want to sub a player out you can do it at any time, even while the ball is in play.
Two weekends ago the high school team I am on played a club team called EIU. We ended up losing 3-0 but it was a very intense and well-played game. We could have easily scored but when your playing with new players it is hard to get the chemistry going on the first game. This last weekend we played the other half of our high school team. We won 5-3, two of those goals I scored. It was a very fun and laid back game, we don't go all out on our own players because we don't want to hurt them for the upcoming season.
You can either love or hate indoor soccer, personally I like it but not as much as outdoor. Outdoor is where the real talent is shown.
