Aimed at giving people fun and opportunity to learn soccer, the coed Khorram said is a non-competitive recreational league that will allow adults who are new to soccer and people who are out of shape, or getting creaky to play the world’s most popular sport.
When league starts, the organizers will also give basic soccer lessons on Jan. 3.
Geared at adults who have no experience in the said sports, the coed, Khorram is the ideal setting for those who want to learn dribbling, passing and goal shooting.
“I’ve had a great time with the past two summer coed leagues,” David Khorram recalls.
He added that there are lots of opportunities for the island’s talented players to get involved in soccer whole year round.
For those with less skill, the coed league is the place to be, Khorram said “so we’re looking at having it run for many more weeks of the year, and drawing only a limited number of the talented players.”
The league will limit the number of “A” players per team, and the role of these proficient players will be to teach and to support the development of the less skilled players.
“I started playing after twenty years of a pretty sedentary lifestyle. It was an enjoyable way to get back in shape,” Khorram said adding that the team sports are great fun, but so often, people are intimidated to because they feel new to the sport and have no skills, or simply too slow or too out of shape. The co-ed soccer league is a perfect place to start.”
The other organizers of the league are Jaime Saiki, an NMIFA official, and Angelo Villagomez.
