The action builds with crescendo assaults and surprising take-aways. It's definitely soccer, but more like soccer after a triple espresso. Meanwhile, stolid defenders roll slowly backward, watching and waiting, their cat-like reactions shutting down their strikers. As the game progresses the disparity of skills becomes more distinct. Now I use a diversity of moves.
Some skaters are quick and aggressive, others more tentative and controlled.
All are respected as though part of a family. This supportive environment is conducive to creating friendships and encouraging talented players to take their skating to new levels. Handling the ball, you forget yourself. Your body takes over. We're not so worried about competition, just about having a good time.
