Alexandria Futsal ID

My son's teammate was on their white futsal ID team last year and still has not heard about this year. What is the deal? My son tried out but I doubt he has a chance because he has never played futsal and usually does basketball. But I am wondering if they had more interest than usual, similar to my son.


They are still trying out some of the age groups, so if he is among those ages, he should continue trying out. They usually wait to issue offers until all tryouts in an age/gender group are complete.


No, tryouts ended last Wednesday. We knew it was a long shot since some of his teammates trying out had done this for several years, and we have not due to basketball. Honestly, my son is not super into futsal the way he is soccer, I just thought that it would be a fun thing for him to do since basketball is cancelled. Oh well.


Our tryouts ended Wed. as well and we haven't heard anything either. I'm thinking the delay is probably due to them still figuring out the details for outdoor futsal before offers go out or perhaps they are still trying to lock-down use of all the outdoor courts they want with the city of Alexandria.


The offers have been sent out. I personally know kids on girls side have received the offer over the weekend. I'm sure they are on rolling basis and the offers likely were sent to those that are their 1st choice.

You mean the red team? That would make sense. If you mean no offer at all, I don't expect my son to get an offer, but it would be very strange if his friend went from the white futsal ID team last year to no offer at all this year.

I'm not sure if they sent out for both but girls I know that received the offer are both on Red teams in a different age groups.

To be clear: offers for same age groups and genders may have gone out already, but for groups that did not finish tryouts until Wednesday, they might not have gone out at all. Even if they did, that process takes some time to unfold. For those groups that just finished, offers would probably start today for red teams today. Once top team is full, next round of offers go out, etc.

My kid has played on the girls futsal ID team for a couple years now. She had try out last week. No offer has been made to her or any other player in her age group to date

DD received offer for Red team on Friday.

My son's coach told him that unfortunately, he would likely not get an offer this year due to increased interest from players outside of ASA. It was disappointing, since DS played in previous years. The coach was nice about it, but still disappointing.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have heard the St. James and Fairfax Sports Plex are both doing teams if you wanted to try there.

I would say if you don't care about how strong the team is and just looking to be on a team, St. James will likely give you the spot. They had a very low turnout at their tryouts. I've known kids got the offer even know they didn't make it to any of the tryout but were offered the spots because they were on a travel teams at other clubs.

Their tryouts felt unorganized..... Alexandria is much stronger teams.

Thanks. The coach suggested a few DC clubs, but frankly, that is too far for us to drive, so will look into these options.

We were at the tryouts. The girls trying out were definitely stronger than the boys. Some of them were pretty good.

Has anyone received an offer from a U12 team other than red yet?

Are the U13 boys having their 3rd tryout tomorrow night? My son said the coaches said they might now have it.

My DS received an offer for red, U11.

Some age groups haven't even started to make offers yet. A few age groups had huge turnouts (40-50 players), so I'm sure they are still trying to figure out number of teams and field space and possibly additional coaches.

Last year, they could have made another team (there were 3 for my child's age group) but they elected not to. They had enough interested people to make another group of 7, but they didn't. Maybe it was a fluke.
