hey EnglishPilot, i am interested but... just 1 hour?
also, how much ��� will each player put in?
i think this is a good thread idea and you will have a lot of interest if...
1) you post well ahead of the matches to give peeps time to sign up. 2) you do not conflict with the multimadrid retiro footy games sundays 4:00 to dark.
But I think that this is actually the perfect substitute / companion for outdoor futbol / soccer on the Sundays when it either rains or is too cold. I am sure that if we do it in conjuction with Bitchy Frog and Trish we will be able to play both in perfect harmony.

yes, sadly you have to pay, I think most of the Polideportivos charge the same rates for Football Sala. The one in Vallecas charges �29 per hour for the pitch and �7 for the lights, if we play in the afternoon we probably wouldn't need the lights as the pitch is on the 3rd floor and there are big windows.
There are currently about 10 of us who play, but it is a large pitch so there is room for more people or if there is a lot of interest we can book the pitch for 2 hours and rotate the teams or organise a tournament, but trust me Jer after 1 hour of playing 7-a-side football without a break, you will be knackered!!!
So basically the cost works out to be around �2 each if there is 14 of us, so about the price of a ca�a these days!
I am trying to make this a regular thing, every Sunday or Saturday depending on peoples preference at the same time each week.
The reason why it is at the weekend and not in the week as it is nigh on impossible to get a football Sala pitch in Madrid during the weeknights.

I spend most of my money on beer and women, the rest I just waste.
i'm interested in playing but i think it would be best to play saturday as we have the multimadrid footy at the retiro on sundays and then when spring springs volleyball will be back on sundays (no missing that!).
actually, when i bought my soccer cleets (for outdoor) and sneakers (for indoor footy and v-ball), i also picked up some shin-guards so you can chuck little old yank here in with the italian softies
the shin-guards cost like 3.50� so it seemed like a good investment at the time considering good solid shins are hard to replace these days :jeje:
emmabear, i will be playing with running shoes as well. i could not afford to buy both cleets, running shoes and indoor footy shoes so the running shoes/sneakers are going to serve for indoor soccer, outdoor and indoor volleyball, etc...
If its wood, they might not let you play with running shoes if they have marking soles jer. If you are going to use them for in-door basketball or Volleyball, you might want to consider replacing the running shoes for Cross training shoes if you haven't used them too much yet. Oh, yet one more trip to Decathlon... :lo:
Say, on the way there, can you pick me up a...

cool. I just thought somewhere, maybe on another thread, you had said "running shoes" rather than sneakers, and that's why I thought about the marking soles...

hey Fab, the soles are white with a small blue part.
i meant running shoes as in "i may use them to run if i ever get back into the sport".
saludos, jer...
p.d. if you are really into going to decathlon, we can go one day in my car, i need to pick up a few things anyway. just let me know what day/time(ish) is good for you.
- rent or buy a cell phone from me for your stay in spain, more info at

volleyball will be back on sundays (no missing that!).
