The Arse ‘N All are the coed indoor soccer team that plays in the Coed Friendly League. The team, which has a cheeky name that reflects their playful spirit, has been together for three years and has developed a strong bond and chemistry.
“We are not here to take ourselves too seriously, we are here to have fun and enjoy the game,” said midfielder and team manager Mellyssa Adams. “We like to joke around and tease each other, but we also support each other and work hard as a team.”
The Arse ‘N All have a mixed and experienced roster, with players from different backgrounds and skill levels. Adams is the team’s longest-serving player, having played at Akron Indoor for 10 years. She is also the team’s unofficial coach, although she does not enjoy that role.
“I don’t like coaching, I just do it because no one else wants to,” said Adams. “I prefer to play and let the players figure things out for themselves. I think they learn more that way.”
