"They make it look a lot easier than it actually is"

A few months ago, Herald News reporter Heather Appel wrote about a new power wheelchair soccer team that had started up for kids in North Jersey. A few weeks ago, Red Bull New York decided to adopt the team officially and sponsor it, renaming the squad of indoor soccer enthusiasts the Jr. Red Bulls Power Soccer Team.

Then, a couple of the senior players visited the power soccer team to get a demonstration of how the game is played. Check out this video to see Luke Sassano get schooled in this new twist on an old classic.

This little team is really cool. Check out its YouTube video to see some kids playing the game with some Black Sabbath overdubs.
