[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I maybe could have worded it another way, so I don't want either of us to get caught up on vernacular, but what I mean is see the team she is going to be on and if she is there to win games for them and the level of the team is weak, then ask if they will do other things to develop her.  They turned me down, but maybe since they have added on professional Futsal, etc, maybe they will be more flexible than they were with her.

I don't mean a written 4 page outline of how they will take her to the next level.  I didn't even mind her being a ringer for their tournaments.  And I liked Hanna from the limited interactions we had.  He has a positive energy.  But I had upfront mentioned what we were looking for, he was on board with it, we declined other options, and then the actual coaches didn't want to (maybe because she was an outside player).  So then we had to scramble once we realized it was a dead end.

Hope that makes sense.  Not trying top beat them up.  This is just an honest advice for the OP. [/quote]

[b]"then ask if they will do other things to develop her."[/b]

And they turned you down because why would they? That is my point. Futsal is a wonderful development tool in and of itself but the competition part of it is frankly more of a mid season outlet. Maximize touches, stay indoors and have some fun on top of all the great things that futsal can do just on its own. But again, unless it is a futsal centric club there is nothing a club is going to do beyond the practice and games for a kid, particularly an outside kid.

So, generally just make your decision based on the quick assessment of the quality of the players, the schedule, the number of tournaments and the cost. Futsal is just such a short window and can be a very intense tournament schedule if you are in a competitive environment that they really are not focused on anything long term or individualized. There are lots of hired guns in futsal and they are recruited for wins and what they can do for the club trophy case and never what they can do for the kid. [/quote]
