For those soccer lovers, it's never too hot, too wet, too dry, too cold, etc, etc.... if you love the game you'll do anything to play no matter the conditions.
I'm an active soccer player, I was never close to be a wrold class soccer player, but I had my great moments playing for different clubs in South/North America and Europe.
Rain?? No problem!!!
Heat?? No problem!!
Lighting!!!! Ohhhhhh well... that would be a problem.. hehehe
I see plenty of future great players, that only need the correct coaching to better their skills. I've seen kids with the same interest, skills and dicipline as other kids in the rest of the world.
First time I went to DR (2 years ago) I had the impression that the only sport to see and to practice would be baseball... wrong!! Now, every time I go to DR, I make sure to pack a pair of shin guards and soccer cleats.... and i'm ready to have fun.
Personally, that's a great way to make friends, besides.. girls like to see a good player with skills.. another way to make more friends
