My daughter plays in a netball league in the House of Sport on a Thursday night. Bored with the netball I often go and watch whoever is playing on the indoor 3G at the front of the building. I watched one game, Under 13s? maybe, and the technical level was impressive. I didnt see one long ball played in the air, it was all pass to feet and move. Defenders bringing it out from the back and stepping into midfield.
I was always better at 5 a side than 11 a side as I was more about technique than getting stuck in. Watching those lads I regretted being born 30 years too early.
