[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son plays on Alexandria's futsal league, and I have noticed that he has been getting hurt a lot in the games on the tennis courts, particularly when he falls.  He fell the same amount when things were indoors last year, but didn't seem to have the giant bruises he has so far this year.   I'm wondering if this is bad luck, or if the tennis courts are not the safest surface for this.[/quote]

I don’t think it’s a great surface for soccer[/quote]

Professional and College basketball are played indoors on wooden courts. Where do you think kids learn and start playing basketball?  Outdoors on a concrete court.

So is playing basketball outdoors on a concrete court not basketball?  Is playing half court, basketball?  Is playing outdoors 3v3 not basketball?[/quote]

It’s not the same ball, the same goal, or the same number of players. It’s similar but it is not really the same thing at all if you have ever played either soccer or Futsal and you know this especially if you have also played all of the variations of basketball you identify. Playing half court basketball with the same ball and goal is a lot closer to playing full court basketball than playing full court Futsal is to full field soccer. It’s not really comparable.  Change the ball,
Change the height of the net, then put nets on half the court and make it three versus three. I don’t think many people would think that is like full court basketball. At all. [/quote]

Yes, yes but the foot skills and inability to use your hands translate, and almost all futsal players are soccer players and many soccer players play futsal. Don’t be obtuse. Anyhow, back to the main topic, I think converting these painted hard-top courts to multipurpose use is a good idea. Just like many turf fields are used for four sports (soccer, football, lacrosse, field hockey) let’s use the hard-top fenced courts for b-ball, tennis, futsal, volleyball, pickle ball, and floor hockey. Re-use, re-use, re-use. [/quote]
