Indoor Soccer Cleats And More From Soccer Shoes

Soccer is one of the most played sports worldwide with about 600 million people engaging in some form of the sport. Getting into soccer can benefit an individual immensely in more ways than just health gains. For one, a person will learn a great deal of fundamental values such as discipline, hard work, and patience and carry these over even into your personal undertakings. You also will become part of a tight group of friends who will not only play alongside you in the game but in life tribulations as well. Of course, there is the added bonus of meeting a lot of cuties especially if you play good, not to mention the possibility of landing a college scholarship.

Because futbol is a skill sport, anybody can be good at it with constant correct practice. If you really want to flourish in the sport or have your child begin, the first thing to do is to purchase the correct gear. Choosing the right shoes is an integral part of the game. A good pair of shoes will aid not only in improving your game but keeping you safe. Remember this sport involves a lot of running, so invest in a pair that grips the surface when changing speed and direction.

Boris Johnson Plans London Cycling Marathon

On March 17th, as professional and amateur runners take to the streets of London, Boris Johnson announces plans for The 'London Marathon on Wheels' a parallel race for the world's top pro riders. Scheduled for 2013, the race will see up to 30,000 cyclists taking to the streets on their bikes in a televised race.

According to the Evening Standard, the race, which will be shown on the BBC, is modelled on Cape Town's annual 'Argus', and the estimated 3 million cost would be covered by entry fees and sponsorship. Four possible routes have been proposed: The 2012 Olympic road race with a start/finish in The Mall; then heading out to south-west London and Box Hill; A central London ring following the north/south circular taking in more than 20 boroughs and the Olympic Park; A start/finish in the Olympic Park, including some central London "icons" then heading east into Essex and A Greenwich start; head south to Kent (like the 2007 Tour de France UK stage); and a central London finish.
