Louisville Recreational Sport Leagues

 I recently joined an indoor co-ed soccer team this winter. Soccer was a pre-kid thing for me, so it had been over 6 years since I had played in a recreational league. It has been fun getting back into the game. The games are weekly at 8pm when my kids are already in bed. My left foot shot is still as bad as it was 6 years ago. As for my right foot - the better of the two - needs some practice too, but still fun running up and down the field for a change of pace and a bit of fun.
