DS 14 new to soccer - what to do in the winter

[Anonymous]

Futsal is a great, but if you don't already have very good footskills and a good first touch....futsal is going to suck for you. The court is small and the ball is FAST. If you can't control the ball, the ball will roll away from you. If your first tough sucks, the ball will go right to a defender or out of bounds.

The comment that DA/ECNL are the Futsal destinations is definitely not the case. One example is Alexandria. They have a very deep Futsal program and they are a CCL/NCSL club. Other options exist

I think Alexandria is also considering expanding the number of travel futsal teams per age group this year. Even if you don't do travel, you could try to hook up with an Alexandria soccer team that is doing the "travel division of rec," meaning playing other Alexandria travel teams within in the rec league. They generally do not match up the travel soccer players against pure rec futsal teams, even within the rec division.

Quick! Join Futsal at Alexandria to help fund executive directors salary.

I just took a look at Alexandria's Futsal ID program and it's almost $900 for the winter program. I didn't see a link to everything that you get but that seems like a lot....but then again, the winter off season is November thru March.

$900 is what the St James is charging per player. You might be confusing the two?

Here is Alexandria's Price breakdown. They charge anywhere from $395, $595 and $725

13:25 poster here. When I looked at the ASA program, it clearly specified "elite players." Unfortunately, my son is not that. Any lower level programs out there? I can't seem to find anything.

How about the Conquerors League in Herndon? It looks like they will have a U15/U16 league on Tuesday evenings.

Don't be scared off because a club said "elite".

Try it out first.

Yes the first team is $895, second team is $695, third team is $595. Rosters are small though, only 8 kids per team so most won't have to pay $900.

Definitely Futsal as has been said. Even if her team is not playing, Futsal leagues like Bethesda will accept her and place her on an existing team for her skill level.
