Erik my friend (team player) informed us and we created a team and started to play. After a few times playing we wanted to participate in a tournament that was organized in the The Beach -hall. The tournament went very well so we continued to play and participated in a tournament called Nordic Light Bach Soccer (NLBS) in Skellefteå and it all went great!

The following year we decided to once again play a tournament in Skellefteå but this time to qualify for the Swedish Championship. In the end we, my team and I stood as the winner!
