Alexandria brings in external players who can keep up with the level (and they have many teams so many levels). Futsal teams at Arlington are an afterthought and not competitive. And arguably, neither of these are club neutral. |
Alexandria offers external players a chance, but they are selective. This open tryout is so they can have the opportunity to have former players come back and play.

C, where are you?
Player pool or assigned team? Do I need to ask on insta? |
Just write the check and don’t worry about it. -CR |
Wait for the IG post.

| Why don’t you just email the guy? If you have a question instead of venting on a form. |
Arlington futsal’s “elite” teams are definitely competitive (top team players try out and often don’t make it), but their “regular” teams are not. I think they got rid of the “elite” teams this coming season though. |
PP here, forgot to add my kid got a F8 offer. Boys, age group has 2 teams. |

What league do they play in? Never seen them at regionals….
|
Arlington? Real futsal programs do not play leagues, only tournaments. |
I guess we play fake futsal all of the time at the outdoor futsal courts. I wonder how your real futsal players would fare in the streets against fake futsal players who choose not to shell out 💰for a 🏅? |
Arlington plays in that rec league - First Touch Futsal.

I’m not sure actually, they have had a different arrangement for futsal every year so it’s confusing.
The “regular” FtF Arlington futsal team would play the usual local teams in the area like Mclean, Herndon, La Bestia… I don’t THINK they went to tournaments. The “elite” team definitely went to regional tournaments. At least one tournament had teams from California so i guess national ones too. Also to add: in our experience Arl futsal does not bring in external players, we have seen a few try out but haven’t seen one yet get in. Arl’s top teams have to try out for “elite” just like everyone else, though usually it ends up being mostly players from the top and sometimes 2nd team. But anyway that is all moot now b/c there’s no more elite program, leaving only the FTF program which as others have said is not at all that serious.
