Introduction
When you hear City football you are probably thinking to a local team or a local league. But this is not the case. New York City is one of the biggest cities in the United States of America. If you are looking at the numbers you will see that it has about 9 million people residing it and occupies the first place in America when it comes to population. A very modern city, made all out of concrete, steel and glass you might say that it is not a suitable place for a kid to grow up in. Big, crowded cities often make young ones to not practice any sports due to the need of location. Well this is not alw1ays true, in New York City football is one of the favorite sports for the kids. But where can they practice this so called city football?
Fields
When you are young, about any place will do for you if you want to play. But when it comes to playing football you will need to gather up a crew, get a ball and find a field where you can play. But if you live in a big, crowded city such as New York you will find yourself in trouble. The solution is to rent a city football field. Here you can play with your friends without anyone else bothering you. The only downside for this is that you will probably need to buy less candy none at all.
Parks
Parks are a great place for city football to take place. Hidden by the loud noises and high level pollution of the city, the local parks appear as a refuge, a faraway place with the fresh air, green grass and trees. Parks are very quiet and peaceful and if you ever find yourself near one, you can always take a few friends, get a ball, go to the park and play some football. The only problem is the park’s policy. Several parks from New York City have certain rules that include forbidding stepping on the grass. If so you should stay away from it and search for especially designed areas where you and your friends will be able to play football.
On the street
Playing football is very fun. Doing it on a grass field is even better. More on, it will significantly decrease the probability of getting hurt if you fall down. But football isn’t always played on the field. If you don’t have a park nearby and you don’t have a football field close (or just the necessary money to rent it with your friends) you will find yourself in the position to play on the streets. You should be careful when you are picking the spot because you might get injured. Either if you fall down or if a opposite team player fouls you, you could have serious injuries due to the hard surface you are playing on. Also another factor that you need to take into count is the urban traffic. You should avoid playing football near or on a road.
