Anonymous wrote:Stupid question
Why not play Cricket or rugby or ...

let me help you with the answer
because my kid loves the sport. loves it more than soccer and wishes it was more established but its not so we look forward to this time of year so its available and other like minded skilled players can compete in a sport you dont appreciate or understand

Seriously what kind of stupid question is that

Lol it’s basically soccer. This will be a good chance for your kid to work on fitness since futsal seems to be where the kids who aren’t in shape enough to play high-level soccer really shine!

Something like $550 for 2x a week practice and some games and scrimmages (about 1x a week) and the alexandria hosted tournament with the possible of more tournaments (and more $$) if that remains a possibility, but a lot of figuring things out on the fly because of covid

Where did you get that info? I got the email from Katie Brooks but nothing re price and tournaments.

There was a link buried in the email for Futsal ID FAQs, but i can’t seem to share it

in a nutshell, it said $550 and this:
Here is a general outline of the projected Futsal ID Program schedule:
November-December First half of season
2x training sessions per week (approx. 6 sessions)
2-3 official outdoor match days (approx. 1 per week)
January- February
2x training sessions per week (approx. 20 sessions)
8-10 league games in the ASA Outdoor Futsal League
1-2 outdoors match days
Futsal Cup tournament hosted by ASA (outdoors)
Potentially 1-3 tournaments (approx. 4-15 games)

Thanks. I went back to the email and started clicking on all the links and found the one that took me to the google document with that info. Very helpful. Have a good one.

Basically soccer?
Ok, youve just relieved yourself of any credibility. Is Cricket basically baseball so why play baseball. If rugby basically football so why play football.
Dont comment on things you really dont know anything about

No he said that kids who aren't fit enough for outdoor soccer play futsal.

Also, I think he is saying...if indoor futsal is cancelled and you are moving it outdoors, why not just play soccer? That isn't a foolish question in my opinion. I agree with you that my kid enjoys futsal and we used to play it year round but we don't have those opportunities as much anymore and he looks forward to winter futsal.

That's not what pp was saying. Work on your reading comprehension, idiot.

I must be reading this wrong along with the original guy. The poster is implying futsal allows a kid to work on fitness as they are not in shape enough to play high level soccer

Need to read the comment to which he was replying, for context.

I believe he means that if there is no futsal, then maybe they will just play normal soccer outdoors as a replacement for futsal. The extra time playing soccer, rather than futsal, will be a good chance for the kid to work on fitness since futsal is only for kids who are out of shape (according to the poster) and the kid will be running soccer distances at a time when he normally would be running futsal distances.

I have one child trying out for travel futsal, and one who wants to do rec. The info ASA sent out references a rec futsal league but no info on what it will cost or how to sign up for it.

We tried out here and may ultimately accept a spot due to the niceness of the facility. However, as a warning, the tryouts are not what you would expect if you are used to Alexandria. They have kids from those age ranges all trying out together, separated by gender. It worked out fine and my child was offered a spot, but it was sort of jarring for her during the tryout. It is tough for a 2011 girl to defend against a 2007 girl.

I find the "practice player" option offered by ASA to be pretty appalling. Pay $550 but only play in games if a "real" player is not available? No thanks.

Yeah, I assume that they of course take all that into consideration when watching the players. I also have a younger child who was playing against older kids in some of the brief scrimmage matches. But he has older siblings so he's used to it

Based on my daughter getting an offer, yes, I assume they do take it into consideration!
