It’s a long holiday weekend and kids love to play! So for the 2nd year now, Ben and friends organized a futsal tournament at school… just for fun!

For those of you who don’t live with boys who love soccer, futsal is basically indoor soccer with 5 players per team.

Ben had students sign up if they were interested in playing. Then he and a friend divided them all into teams. I think there were about 8 teams that day.

Then they played each other pretty much all day long! That’s as much detail as I gathered from watching. I’m told the team in grey shirts won. Congrats gray team!

Mama Nnoke even came to grill chicken, the 10th Graders grilled hot dogs, and Alvine brought her ice cream machine. It was quite a day in the midst of a 4 day holiday weekend!

Actually, this futsal tournament makes me proud of Ben for a couple of reasons. Not only did he organize this event for the 2nd year, but he also mentored a younger student, teaching him how to organize this event so that it can continue for years to come.
