Cebu Futsal - Villaflor: Kicking under one roof

By Noel S. Villaflor

THREE floors below ground where the air would have been twice as thick if not for three man-sized exhaust fans working round the clock, 10 pairs of small feet scurry about on a rubberized court.

On the sidelines looms the coach, a middle-aged man, arms crossed, skin baked for years under the soccer sun, barking instructions to either side.

Pass the ball. Stop dribbling. Find an opening. Nice shot. Play on.

The indoor game swings back and forth. There’s no time to catch one’s breath. The boys sprint back to defense, as the girls try to catch them off guard.
