Cool story bro. Lay off the sauce Cristian. Ignore the haters and go film a motivational post on IG.

in10sity parent here - one thing I really like about the program is that the 3 that started the club actually know how to play futsal and have played at a high level. they also have a woman coach that has played on the national futsal team. the coaches have been nothing but nice to my DC and keep the level of training high at every practice. if your child isn't doing something right, they are good about correcting. they teach set plays and formations and tactics that are unique to futsal, they aren't just outdoor coaches trying to play soccer indoors. if you want your child to actually learn futsal, go with in10sity. that's also not saying you want them to be a pro futsal player, but kids can handle learning a new sport while still having outdoors soccer as their main sport. don't think of it as supplemental training to outdoor soccer, think of it as them learning a brand new sport.

We liked the trainings and the girls learned to play futsal the 'right way', but the games & tournaments were a mess. The coaches changed game-to-game within the same tournament with no communication to parents, each coach had different priorities and preferences for players so your player could go from playing most of one game to sitting on the bench most of the next game, there were some weird VA vs MD dynamics, teams weren't competitive in multiple age groups, and the games felt more like winter training for the coach's outdoor team vs actually trying to put together a team that could compete at tournaments. I might consider in10sity for the training, but not a fan of how they run tournaments

that's the same for other big clubs that do futsal, a lot of coaches juggling a lot of teams especially at tournaments.

As an In10sity parent, they chose Copa over United Futsal with Riptide, District Dynamo and False 8 to give to the culture. Unfortunately, Copa was not organized and did not meet the standards promised originally.

My DC still played Copa and had a blast so it did not matter to my family. I hope Copa listens to In10sity and does what is needed to bring in District Dynamo, False 8 and Riptide next year. Then, we can really see a show.

We’ve done both (2 seasons each) and will not go back to either.

In10sity:
Most knowledgeable technically since they specialize in futsal, play the game themselves, and don’t treat it as a seasonal side hustle. Organization and tournament communication were rough. Major turn-off was the ego — more focus on counting their trophies and telling everyone to “remember the name” than applauding the players who actually earned them. Also not a fan of the loud, shouting coaching style.

False 8:
Marketed as a supplemental program to outdoor soccer, yet behaving like ultra-serious futsal by traveling to big-name tournaments to build their reputation. Heavy preference for a certain look and style of play — if you don’t flail your arms and “look” aggressive, don’t expect much playing (or media) time. Trainings (in general) are always advertised as “limited spots,” yet there’$ alway$ room for more player$.

BOTH feel like money-grabs — far more focused on proving their own name and collecting trophies than actually developing players or giving real opportunity. Favoritism becomes obvious in how teams are stacked, regardless of who’s consistently showing up, putting in the work, or improving. Both require a high level of commitment (time, travel, and $) which was more than what we were personally looking to spend for the experience my kid was getting in return.

As a parent who has also done both this is pretty spot on. The egos at in10sity didn’t really bother me though, I just saw it as their way to bring in players/parents. Coaches have always been really nice to my DC and always clear at practices with coaching points and their style of play. False8 futsal sessions are not clear on what they want from your child (probably because they aren’t actual futsal coaches) and just tell them to play faster. It’s interesting to me that they chose the tournament route this season when a lot of their teams just aren’t there yet.

the last minute venue change was a big turn off on how the tournament would be run. hearing that all the games were an hour behind I think they made the right choice.

It was just the finals that were behind.

It was a great experience with some delayed finals starts. Competition was top notch. Local Clubs like f8 and intensity probably wouldn’t have been competitive.

Venue change was the only reason we decided to do it! DS had a blast, good competition, good vibes, and the taco stand was great!

As an In10sity parent who appreciates their futsal knowledge and instruction, kids just want to play. Absolute wrong choice to skip. Way too bourgeoisie a decision. Play and if you don’t like the experience, choose United Futsal next year. Our kids just want to play.

So what was the reason they decided not to go? So much politics in youth sports and I agree with the PP that kids just want to play. It would have been easier to go Athletic Republic instead of Fredicksburg for most of their families. I did see some of their players and coaches there with other clubs. The grift is real.
