[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Anyone have experiencing signing up for the Alexandria futsal league as an individual? Our club isn't doing futsal this year so I wanted to find something for my DS to participate in.

My son did it once. It was ok. The problem was that he was put on a "free agent" team where most of the other players were on the same travel soccer team, but he was not. He felt a little uncomfortable, even though no one was mean or rude to him.

My kids have done it and enjoyed it, but my one son was put on teams so far below his level it was ridiculous we finally stopped doing it as a free agent.

Same. Ball skill wasn't the top priority for many of the selections. It's the usual--who you know, what team you are currently on, how much dad kisses *ss (like constantly on the sidelines and nose up *ss every practice/game).[/quote]

I don't think that is exactly accurate.  I 100 percent agree that selection was deterimined by what soccer team people are currently on, but I've seen no evidence that the rest factors in at all.  Frankly, I think it would be better if selection was just deterimined by sending out invites due to current teams (or tryouts for outside players only), rather than putting the other kids through a "tryout" that doesn't really determine anything.

Translation:  "Whatever makes you feel better."  The coaches are often different between futsal and outdoor, and the performance expectations for the top teams in futsal are significantly higher than outdoor.  There is not room for favorites and there is no evidence of it in four years of watching how it works.[/quote]

Futsal is not very big in this area.  Very few dedicated futsal teams or futsal programs.  The bar isn't very hard for becoming a 'champion team' in Futsal in the DMV.  Most teams are a bunch of outdoor players that just play Futsal for fun in the off-season.

*bar isn't very high.

Unlike outdoor soccer which has 100s of programs.[/quote]

DC Hyperfutsal is still the elite of DMV futsal[/quote]

DC HYper has what, 3 or 4 boys teams total across all age groups in a good year, and zero girls teams. Do they even have any teams this year ?

And I remember reading on this forum about what a psycho and bad example that coach was (and the players were) at last year's Alexandria tournament.  Hopefully, they Alexandria bans them this year.  They can go have fun in NJ or Spain or where ever they want to go.[/quote]
