Holy Trinity School Clifton Campus held a ribbon-cutting ceremony, blessing and dedication of a new playground the morning of Sept. 14.

The playground is accessible to children of all abilities, including those using assistive devices. And outside school hours, it will be open to the community.

During the morning blessing, eager students looked on as Father Shayne Duvall, pastor of Holy Trinity and St. Frances of Rome churches, and Deacon Christopher J. Kelly walked around the playground, sprinkling holy water on the state-of-the-art equipment.

Clifton Park Futsal Court
* Metro Parks has upgraded the tennis courts in Clifton Park, 133 N. Charlton Steet (Charlton & Arlington) to futsal or mini soccer courts. Futsal is a fast-paced 5-a-side version of soccer played on a hard surface like asphalt. Wylie Caudill, muralist, was commissioned to paint his signature roses on the 7200 SF futsal court. Wylie began work on August 10. He used a special paint called stream bond which turns to asphalt when dry. He painted the entire court with roses and painted the futsal court lines. Another company installed the futsal goal nets.
TIMELINE:
* Aug 19. Approximately 50% of the court was painted the initial color and the finish red color. LouCity and Racing Foundation and Humana Foundation provided the funding for this project.
* Aug 28. Wylie finished the blue roses around the perimeter. The court is ready for play.

WHAT is FUSTAL?
Futsal is a fast-paced, small-sided variation of soccer played indoors on a hard court between two teams of five players each.
Key Rules and Format
• Team Size: Five players per side on the court at one time, including one goalkeeper and four outfield players, with unlimited rolling substitutions.
• The Ball: A smaller size-four ball with reduced bounce, which keeps the ball on the ground and encourages close control and technical skill.
• The Court: A hard-surface court (often the size of a basketball court) bounded by lines, meaning there are no walls or boards to bounce the ball off.
• Match Duration: Two 20-minute halves, and the clock stops every time the ball goes out of play.
Differences from Traditional Soccer
• No Walls: Unlike indoor arena soccer, futsal uses touchlines and out-of-bounds lines just like regular soccer.
• Restarts: Instead of throw-ins, players use a kick-in from the sideline, which must be taken within four seconds.
• Contact Limits: Slide tackles and heavy physical shoulder charges are generally prohibited to keep the game safe and focused on skill.
