Beach soccer hits New York City

Posted on by

Amidst the fun and frolic of hundreds of Coney Island Beach revelers last Saturday, history was being created on a strip of sand on New York’s most famous summer venue. Beach soccer made an enthusiastic beginning in the Big Apple when Bay 20, at one of the city’s most recognizable locations, was transformed into an arena of dribbling, goal-scoring and tackling by dozens of young players. Organized by the Central Brooklyn Soccer Federation, the series was meant to introduce beach soccer and eventually popularize in New York and beyond.

Four teams played out the first ever staged beach soccer series in the State, and from all indications, the future looks good for the mostly unknown sport here that is hugely popular in the Mecca of traditional soccer in Brazil.

Both Shomari Ramsay and Garth Nelson founders of the Central Brooklyn Soccer Federation were pleased with the response and enthusiasm displayed by the young players who represented Mariners Under-15, Patriots Girls Under-15 teams along, in addition to Brooklyn Italians Youth Under-12 and Under-8 and Champs Under-12 and Under-8 teams.

“Our intention is to introduce the fans in New York to a different brand of soccer, that is just as exciting and entertaining as traditional soccer,” Nelson stated. “Beach soccer is growing fast in other parts of the country and other countries around the world and we plan to have teams good enough from New York to compete against the best in Florida and other states where it is more established”.

Nelson explained that beach soccer in New York has the support of a leading MLS player – the former New York Red Bulls midfielder Dwayne De Rosario, who had planned to attend the games. But because he was abruptly traded to DC United in late June, De Rosario was absent.

  787. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  790. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  791. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  797. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  798. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  801. I’ve come across that currently, more and more people will be attracted to surveillance cameras and the discipline of photography. However, like a photographer, you have to first expend so much time period deciding the model of digital camera to buy plus moving store to store just so you could potentially buy the most economical camera of the brand you have decided to pick out. But it does not end at this time there. You also have take into consideration whether you can purchase a digital photographic camera extended warranty. Thanks a bunch for the good recommendations I gained from your blog site.

  803. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  805. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
