[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Op here. I’m just shocked that one of the parents said no because of playing time even though he has room on his team. I can’t imagine being so mean. I’d never exclude a kid who didn’t have a team. It’s unbelievable to me[/quote]

If you were not given a chance to indicate that your son wanted to do it, yes, that is mean.  On the other hand, I am the financial manager for my child's team.  I sent out an email to all team members asking if they wanted to do futsal, and told them when they needed to let me know by.  I also followed up with a text, again giving the date to indicate whether kids were doing it.  One of the moms did not respond to either, and then, after I told every person how much they owed for futsal, and most of them paid me, suddently reached out to say her son wanted to do it.  I said no, because we already had a sufficient roster, I want the kids to get playing time, and I don't want to re-do the finances and adjust everyone else's payments.[/quote]

Very familiar with this scenario. Kids parents try to play it cheap, their kid then finds out and complains and now it’s someone else’s fault. Not saying this is your scenario OP, just empathizing with PP above.

OP, assuming you’re being truthful here, then yes your kid/you is likely not viewed as either good enough or not in the right social circles. If he wants to play futsal, then you’ll have to find another futsal team he can join. Otherwise he should practice on his own and work on his quickness and foot skills and maybe play basketball for the exercise and friends. [/quote]

OP, futsal games are okay but at the end is just another money grab and time consuming activity. If your kid finds a team, he’d may end playing only five minutes total for 2 hours of your family’s time invested.  Your kid would be better off doing  a clinic or private training (way more ball touches, more personalized training and coach instructed etc).[/quote]
