Xtreme Soccer

Post by UNI88 »

Took my sons to see a Chicago Storm game last Sunday. It was fast paced and fun to watch.

Growing up in Iowa, I wasn't exposed to soccer as a kid but I'm trying to understand the differencee between Xtreme Soccer, Futsal, street soccer, beach soccer, etc?

Xtreme Soccer is indoor 5 on 5 soccer with 2 points awarded for a goal from inside an arc and 3 points for a goal shot from outside the arc. Futsal appears to be similar but played on a gym floor rather than artificial turf. Futsal looks like the original version that is popular in Brazil.

I thought Bandl, WTAG or someone else might be able to provide more insight.

I have never heard of it either. Thanks for the explanation. I don't think I'd like to watch it, but I bet it's fun to play.

I forgot about that. He's hanging with the Kiwi's, drinking Steinlager and learning the virtues of Rugby and the All Blacks.
