Adorable Rascal

Marti the Monkey is everywhere all at once. He is sneaky, sharp, and quick as anything. He’ll distract you with a shiny object in one hand and then will “borrow” a pencil with the other. He’s a magician on the field with fakes that will leave you tripping on your own feet and tied up in a knot. But look out, his favorite move is to catch you with your legs open and then – the dreaded MEG! The worst! Somehow Marti always gets away with breaking the rules because he’s so cute and nobody can catch him in the act.

Marti like to play the “BOX-TO-BOX MIDFIELDER” because he gets to keep his hands and feet in everything. He’s in the middle of the action no matter where the ball is on the field. He keeps everyone guessing what he’s going to do next. He’s always ready to receive a pass, and can move it quickly to the next open player. He likes to “DISTRIBUTE” the ball from a defender to the front attacking line or switch the action between the right and left side of the field.

Marti often says: “I’m open!”

Be like Marti: When are you in the middle of the action?
