Indoor soccer is a class that is offered every semester to help improve skills, team play, individual play, group activity and fitness.

Most of the class consists of teams of five battling for a goal to stay on the court. The class emphasis on individual play because there are not assigned positions. However, you still need to work as a team to get the ball in the net.

“I improved a lot because of the class and I also enjoy the workout because it’s the only exercise I get,” Giovanne Renteria said.

According to the Skyline Women’s Soccer Coach, Kevin Corsiglia, the class is more like futsal class than an actual indoor soccer class. Futsal is an indoor version of association football which includes teams of five, no goalkeeper, and no walls for the ball to hit against like real indoor soccer.

The course requires flat indoor shoes and shin guards are encouraged, but not required. Many athletes, especially soccer players, join the class to stay fit on the off-season and to get more practice during the season. But, anyone is given the opportunity to play in the class.

“The class could be better if more girls joined because there isn’t that many in the class right now,” Shelley Mattias said.

The course doesn’t just offer team play, individual play, and a great atmosphere, but it improves soccer skills and fitness level.

“My skills have improved because of the class,” Mattias said. “I’ve noticed that my traps and dribbling on a fast surface is getting much better.”

The class is held upstairs in the gym of building 3. The class is currently being offered every Monday and Wednesday by Daniel Link, Skyline Men’s soccer coach. It is also taught by Corsiglia on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The class will also be available this summer on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:30-12:35. The class is only worth one unit, but it is transferable and very enjoyable.

“I know a lot of people in the class, and it’s just a friendly place to be,” Keith Cittar said.

The class has a very friendly environment, it doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete or not. Some students believe that the class could be improved though. More organization is being encouraged by many of the students, especially with the task of setting up the teams.

“The class could be better if we had a little more organization, sometimes it’s hard because there are so many people,” Cittar said.

Many would expect that the class is filled with drills and sprints, but according to Renteria, the class is just about playing for the whole hour. He believes this is better for many other students in the class because they would rather play the whole hour than do drills.

Mattis said, “If you enjoy soccer, you’ll enjoy this class.”
