False 8 Futsal

[Anonymous]

Too many on here are absolutely lost in the sauce and thats the main problem with youth sports. Imagine letting a club neutral program tell you what you can do with your child in your free time. If you have F8 training and tournament then play with them as they expect. If you are free then go play wherever you want. If you let any program restrict you and your child then thats your own fault and you deserve to be left behind.

We are trying out F8 futsal this year and we havent had a single game yet.. so I dont know where the "my child isnt getting opportunities to play but goes to every session". We go to every session and if my child doesnt get a fair chance then my tune will change. But lets not create false narratives for parents who are actually trying.

F8 sessions might be 40-50 kids but they are broken into groups of maybe 10 max with a coach. Again more lies because you are said your kid isnt on IG? Who cares about IG and your parent managed account. Will your kid get better from extra touch and extra sessions? If you dont think so then please share where kids should be running to for extra training

I don’t know whether to take you serious or not.

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?

The point is that the kids aren’t getting anything quality as they only care about the ones on IG. The coaches are just there joking around with each other and not coaching any kids.

The False 8 hype is over. There was a point in the beginning before social media took over that CR might have somewhat cared about the kids.

Now, you can tell he only focuses on a handful of players. Again, like a broken record those IG stars are talented but CR and False 8 did not develop them.

All these club neutrals clubs will grab all the best kids and post them on their social media and have people believe they had something to do with their development.

False 8, In10sity and Champions Premier all does it.

So the clubs don’t care about the kids and the club-neutral programs don’t care about the kids? Is it like this everywhere or just the DMV?

They only care about the kids if they can help promote their program.

Hey look this kid trained with us and now he's with this academy etc.

At the end of the day, they only care to get more kids cause more kids mean more money.

Everyone knows what they signed up for. The parents complaining didnt do their research, so this is on the them. Who cares that they do on IG. If you signed up without enough information then that is on you. If they are doing something different then what was originally communicated, then focus there.

Pretty simple, it's all about recruiting for them so they get a good kid from a club and post him all over their social media. They make a good group of kids developed elsewhere. They don't have time to develop every kid and attend all these tournaments during the winter months.

Same thing for High School soccer, the HS that do well are ones that have players who play on top clubs and decide to get together and play. To expect a HIgh School to have 2 weeks before the first game of the season and develop players is not realistic.

If your kid is good and is in the group, cool, lots of success and I'm sure he/she will enjoy it. If your kid isn't at that level YET, take them somewhere else where the coaches will develop them more, it's not rocket science.

I take it you have an Instagram child? False 8 must really love parents like you.

There are plenty of club neutral programs in the dmv but most of them actually train and develop their players and not just claim they do all over social media

Curious. What happened to starting in the back and working up to the front? Does that not exist anymore?

Has anybody ever spent time getting feedback from the coaches after the session about their kids poor technique and then spent 100-200 reps per day with their child until they looked better completing the reps in the False 8 class?

No feedback is ever given. They hardly even know the names of the kids that attend

The non futsal sessions include little feedback. I just dont understand why anyone thinks it would be different now because it is called futsal.
