WORK HARD, PLAY HARD… [HN PHOTOS]
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS – [HN PHOTO NOTES] – A number of lovely Hyannis families took to an asphalt cancha de fútbol in the parking lot of the Hyannis Youth and Community Center early last evening. The young jugadores took advantage of the cooler temps, for a little fun and exercise at the end of a long workday. They were playing a type of fútbol called Fútbol sala (or Futsal), with reglas diferentes, played on a hard surface, with a smaller pelota. The asphalt, boards, and netting create quicker action with lots of contact. To me, it was like taking traditional fútbol and sprinkling it with a dash of old-school ice hockey, making things more “rough and tumble,” more interesting, with the boards and netting just about always keeping the pelota in play. Wives and girlfriends cheered from the sidelines, encouraging the intensity, while the youngsters set up cones nearby to make their own futsal court. Everyone was having a wonderful time without drugs and booze. These people work hard and play hard. It’s refreshing to see.
