My favorite thing about adult soccer is the sense of camaraderie you can build with people who were already your friends. When I was in college I played on an intramural team with my friends and we were the group of “hip kids” and art students who just also happened to play soccer, and for two years or so we got absolutely killed by the fraternities and the international team, but by my senior year we had such a since of chemistry with each other that we managed to beat teams more talented then us and win the championship. It not only made me closer with people who were already my friends, but provided me the only opportunity in my post High School athletic career to run around screaming and hugging people after a semi-final golden goal in extra time (the only time we ever had any emphatic goal celebration).
