SWEMSA offers community indoor soccer for girls and boys in programs from U5 to U19.
Playing in a fully boarded pitch (like a hockey rink), games are 6 vs. 6, player changes on the fly, no offside, pass the ball off the boards, and lots of opportunities to score. It’s an exciting game with minimal stoppages.
