[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to get a read on this outfit. Have an 11-yr old daughter who has trained with Total Futbol, Coerver & HP Elite past few years. How does Futstars compare/contrast with the three mentioned? I'm assuming since they discuss futsal skills on the website, the emphasis is largely on footwork. Correct? Any help/insight is much appreciated. Thanks.[/quote]

Depends what you mean by footwork.  If you are just talking about dribbling then no.  They work on dribbling, first touch, passing and movement about equally.  I would say that futstars programs tend to be holistic rather than focused on a particular skill where HP Elite tends to target courses to a specific skill.

Futstars groups are usually fairly small, and there aren't typically many girls - maybe 1-2 per group at your daughter's age.  This is good if you daughter is good enough to play with good boys - it may be a negative if she's not though.  Probably worth a quick discussion with the coaches as to whether your daughter is at a sufficient level.

The coaches are very good - amongst the best in the area.  HP Elite and Total Futbol have good coaches too - I don't have experience with Coerver.

The talent level of the kids is probably higher at Futstars than elsewhere.  You will (or at least you used to) find several kids from DCU (when they still had younger age groups) at futstars sessions for example.[/quote]
