[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beyond the regional tournaments at the end of the winter futsal season, all of the hype about "national" futsal tournaments is just that -- hype. These aren't national tournaments, just summer tournaments where regional winners get automatic acceptance (but still end up competing against random teams that haven't won anything). It's a money grab. [/quote]

The names and titles of the tournaments aren't important 
[b]Are the kids playing futsal and getting in quality time for improvement?[/b][/quote]

The kids absolutely are getting quality time and improving.  But it does come at a cost... burn out, expensive flight/ hotel to attend & court injuries.  I know families that have attended 3 fly away tournaments this summer for their U-Little player.  Those players are on top teams, they have big aspirations to play high level. I just got to wonder about the drawbacks down the road.

There is a saying, "Behind every highly successful youth athlete, you can find an overly driven parent."    I think futsal is good for development fore some players, but in a lot of cases the juice just can't be worth the squeeze for most players.   [/quote]
