When Tauranga footballer Amy Harrison crosses over to futsal she notices some key differences between the codes.
"The pace is a lot quicker, you have to think and react a lot quicker. There is less time to think about how you going to start the attack and that sort of
pressure is really enjoyable for me. It is a different type of keeping too, you use your feet a lot more and do a lot more splits saves," she says.
This quick-thinking action was what she had to really put into practise last week while competing at the National Tertiary Futsal Championships at Trustpower Arena from Thursday to Sunday.
Harrison was the goalkeeper for the University of Waikato women's team, which finished fifth of five teams.
The fourth edition of the event included men's and women's teams from Auckland University of Technology, Massey University, the University of Auckland, the University of Waikato and Victoria University of Wellington.
