Swamp Soccer

Swamp soccer is an obscure sport that you've probably never heard of, much less thought having its own website on the internet. The official website of swamp soccer is simple and easy to find, not to mention extremely informative. Swamp soccer originates from the swamps of Finland, having its first tournament in 1997 with a grand total of 13 competing teams. It has become more widely popular and there are now tournaments ranging across Europe, including in Sweeden, Iceland, and the UK and there are over 200 teams. The website also includes contacts so people can start their own swamp soccer teams and leagues in their own countries. The rules of swamp soccer are included in the website, and there are three types of leagues, all-male, all-female, and mixed and each swamp soccer team has six players on it. There is no limit of how many players can be on the team or how many substitutions can be made in a game. The Mud Divers won the 2010 league of swamp soccer. The 2011 championship will take place in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, and the swamp soccer website even includes a map with which you can enter your zipcode and get directions to Edinburgh. Overall the website is helpful and unique because it tells plenty about the sport and encourages others to get involved in the sport.
