False 8 Futsal

[Anonymous]

I hope that they take it down. People already think this is a clown/instragram show. There are a bunch of kids who are working so hard to shine

She never felt welcomed...too many kids in the program, her concerns as a 10 year old were never really addressed. She was just told to do it faster. But I observed they didn't really care about her or technique. Lots of 7-9 year olds working hard and only a key number of kids were featured on IG. My kid felt lost in the sauce. She liked some of the other players, but she did sloppy reps and no one ever corrected her of cared if she did it anything well.

But they are seriously trying to put pressure on 9 and 10 year old kids, when those lessons are best suited for kids post puberty. Your post is not surprising as there is room for improvement and genuine engagement. The head Coach has angry teenager vibes and the other coaches barely coach.

My DC felt the exact same way. Put in a group and just forgotten about. Coach yelling out drills but no one helping. If you’re not one of their top players then they don’t care.

Doesn't sound like a lot of coaching going on although the environment sounds like a good one for serious players. I guess it's always hard trying to scale something meant for the elite.

Labeling u-littles as “elite” is part of the problem

If the kids are cooking; what are the coaches smoking?

I am so embarrassed for CR. Money has gone to his head.

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.

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.

The touches are all that matters. The instagram thing is completely irrelevant. Who cares either way?

Win the child’s mind and the touches will follow. The coaches don’t do a good job winning over most players. Elite level motivation will burn out if they don’t feel accepted.
