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?

Never heard of it...

neither have I. Is it just indoor soccer?

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.

And I haven't heard of it either. I'm a bit of a soccer purist.

And I haven't heard of it either. I'm a bit of a soccer snob.

so it is european handball scoring rules and probably size but played more like indoor soccer.

Interesting. I haven't heard of it either.

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