[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve done both (2 seasons each) and will not go back to either.

In10sity:
Most knowledgeable technically since they specialize in futsal, play the game themselves, and don’t treat it as a seasonal side hustle. Organization and tournament communication were rough. Major turn-off was the ego — more focus on counting their trophies and telling everyone to “remember the name” than applauding the players who actually earned them. Also not a fan of the loud, shouting coaching style.

False 8:
Marketed as a supplemental program to outdoor soccer, yet behaving like ultra-serious futsal by traveling to big-name tournaments to build their reputation. Heavy preference for a certain look and style of play — if you don’t flail your arms and “look” aggressive, don’t expect much playing (or media) time. Trainings (in general) are always advertised as “limited spots,” yet there’$ alway$ room for more player$.

BOTH feel like money-grabs — far more focused on proving their own name and collecting trophies than actually developing players or giving real opportunity. Favoritism becomes obvious in how teams are stacked, regardless of who’s consistently showing up, putting in the work, or improving. Both require a high level of commitment (time, travel, and $) which was more than what we were personally looking to spend for the experience my kid was getting in return.[/quote]

As a parent who has also done both this is pretty spot on.  The egos at in10sity didn’t really bother me though, I just saw it as their way to bring in players/parents.  Coaches have always been really nice to my DC and always clear at practices with coaching points and their style of play.  False8 futsal sessions are not clear on what they want from your child (probably because they aren’t actual futsal coaches) and just tell them to play faster.  It’s interesting to me that they chose the tournament route this season when a lot of their teams just aren’t there yet.  [/quote]
