[quote=ComeOnYouReds]Haven't played since high school, at age 18 (now I'm 25)...however, exciting news: I'm joining an indoor league for the winter, woohoo!!!!
We played a diamond in defense during those years; I played at the top of the diamond, stopper. Never a prolific goal scorer, I was known for my crunching tackles and good footballing iq. My school was actually pretty well known for our dominance in our division, check us out:

2004 New Jersey Group I State Champions (Ir's a 5 or round tournament) Season tally: 23 wins, 1 loss. I played there from 2001-2004.
I had the chance to play in Philadelphia's "Spectrum" during half time of an indoor soccer game [Philadelphia Kixx]. The Spectrum was known more for being the home of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team, duly nicknamed the Broad Street Bullies during the 1970s for their physical dominance and sheer ruthlessness on the ice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_Street_Bullies#1972.E2.80.931978:_The_Broad_Street_Bullies
And a video of a classic fight from that era:
