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.

Using players/teams as pawns to earning more money and brand recognition. Grifters, the lot of them.

I think the large group divisions and heightened competition vs multiple divisions meant they were unlikely to win any trophies, and so they backed out. They played at the same venue the week before.

Their IG post / reel was so cringe. The stupid coach who had the trophies in the baby stroller.
