[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What rankings?
There are no rankings for Futsal

The game mentioned was between St James 04 comprised entirely of ST James DA players who we all know are the top players in the area.  Just ask any DA (former) parent.   The Alexandria team was comprised entirely of players from their CCL team that train Futsal yearly.   It was a one goal game at halftime that like in futsal ended up a multi goal win by St James.  Lets not kid ourselves here, a local club that plays futsal and draws only upon local players versus at the time the top 04 DA team in the area.  That is the piece left out.

Just a distinction worthy of noting.   Again Alexandria nor St James are "ranked".  no one is.   [/quote]

Agreed - I was the poster who mentioned Alexandria being one of the top club futsal programs in the country, and I stand by the statement based on regional and national tourmament participation and success.  The dominant futsal programs come principally out of the northeast and mid-Atlantic.  Most of the leaders are futsal club programs - collections of top players from DA/ECNL teams from entire metro areas - like Safira in Massachusetts, Brazuca in CT, and in this area, DC Hyper and PG Young Boys.  ASA does well against this competition and is one of the few soccer clubs to actually compete at regional and national levels as a soccer club, as opposed to a futsal club drawing top talent from an entire metro area.  That's why I used the term "club futsal programs," not "futsal clubs."  Sorry if that was misleading.  Yes, I know plenty of people will now respond either that futsal is irrelevant (tell that to the fantastic DCU players who play for Hyper or PG Young Boys) or that their club could do as well or better if they tried, blah blah blah.  OK.  If you've been to regional tourneys and seen the obvious talent on the courts, it is doubtful you'd say anything like that at all.  [/quote]
