I've been in that game (I think). Good bunch of dudes that all seem to play to the level of the guy with the ball. When I was there there were two or three guys who played really fast, and would get a little physical, but nothing uncool. Pretty wide age range. I think there's a couple brothers that play and their dad plays too. I think we played for almost 2 hours of short-sided games and I can only remember one time when somebody got pissy about getting knocked over.

When I was there I think I was the only one that didn't speak fluent Spanish, so it took them a minute to think of something else to call me when they realized I wasn't responding to caballo.

I went tonight (Thurs) and there were a lot of teams practicing (youth) or kids, or whatever, so no pick up. On Tuesday, there were maybe 5-6 teams of 7 a side. There are some kids who never pass and never run back to play defense. But there are a decent amount of good players. In general, there are not as many scrubs like me, but I never felt too terrible (you've seen me play, so judge from there). I have seen quite a few futsal guys there. It also wasn't all latino the Sunday and Tuesday I went this week, it was a mix of dudes.
Anyway, I had fun and plan on making Tuesdays frequently (maybe Thursdays if there are less practices going on).
