creepy and gross. the kids in the false 8 videos don't even look old enough for social mediau. |
| How much is everyone paying per tournament? I wonder if parents are paying different prices |
I belong to the privilege group so we don’t pay anything and get clout exposure online. |
They pay for my kid’s hotel at tourneys. |
None of the kids with privileges are here on DCUM and talk like that. When you get free stuff, you don’t flex as you are not aware who else gets the perks and you don’t want to lose it. Plenty of 2nd team parents who troll like this. Fruit does not fall far from the tree. 2nd rate troll parenting = 2nd rate players whose parents are left to troll innocent parents asking legitimate questions. |
PP doesn’t understand that it’s the third and second team parents (myself being one of them) that help fund the program and first team players |
| Does everyone get to play on different teams. It seems like they mix ages and teams. |
No they don’t mix. We are looking at other futsal clubs and having my child leave the program. I think coaches should practice what they preach on Instagram. |
| What do you mean? |
I also agree. A typical False8 session: (A parent's perspective) 40-50 kids arrive. Warm Ups. -Demonstrations are completed by the same kids over and over, the IG kids. IG Kids are put into 1 or 2 groups. Everyone else is split into other groups. Kids do all the circuits. They film the IG kids for a post that day. Your kid is left keeping up with the other kids. Concluding session and motivational speech by 1 Coach. -End result: 10 kids feel like they belong, 40 kids are just grinding away doing sloppy reps wondering why they signed up. Some pros: The fitness is high level, lots of touches, motivational speech at the end Big areas to improve: Newer kids might feel invisible, the secondary coaches (station coaches) just keep the kids moving, its so much hustle for little kids, some might not want to come back, parents who are juiced in/ bulldozer parents who talk to the instructors before hand seem to have their kid featured more, this is a Type A dog-eat-dog training program Personally, we Love/ Hate it. My kid doesn't want to go unless they have a good friend going too. And it takes a bit to convince other parents to send their kids as they have a negative rep for the older kids & families (that is why they primarily only have little kids attend (u8-u10). We just do the random sessions and are not on the Futsal program. |
Yep, and thanks BTW |
This is a completely accurate assessment.
|
| I am pissed that we had to agree our kid would not play with another futsal program and half the IG girls are playing with Ballers Elite/BEAST. Hot take: BE will franchise or affiliate with F8 in the near future. Both chasing all star instaclout |
Most accurate post I’ve seen in a long time. This is exactly why we stopped going |
What do you mean you had to agree not to play with another futsal program? You do know false 8 takes guest players for tournaments right? The double standards is mind blowing. |
