Football in my Hood

in hive-130734 •  4 years ago 

Football is a game that is enjoyed by almost every individual on the globe, it is filled with alot of rollercoaster emotions, the joy, the anger it brings sometimes and all the other mixed feelings.

My friends and myself are also super fans of football, we enjoy it to the extend that from Thursday through to sunday at exactly 4pm we start playing football.

This is our playground

The interesting part of our love for football is that we don't have a park around so we choose to still enjoy the game on an abandoned basketball court

Because the basketball court which is our football park cannot contain the standard number of players needed and the kind of goal post needed we play with six players at each side and a pole which is three foot wide for a maximum of 7 minutes(this is usually called small poles in Ghana)

With the small poles game the knockout out is only one goal then a different set of six players comes on to face the team that scored the goal.

When the seven minutes is over and no team has been able to score a goal then we have a choice to either toss a coin or play penalties till one team wins

This kind of game is enjoyed by most people in Ghana and other parts of the world with similar rules. Thank you for reading this post.

Small poles is a popular sport in the country because of the small number of people who usually participate in the game.

Keep rocking bro.

Thanks man😊
