[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basketball is a better choice. Cross training with a lower risk of repetitive stress injuries and burnout. Futsal as a pick up game is fine, futsal as a competitive activity with standings and championships is silly. Making futsal focused on competition removes most of the value for kids who want to be serious soccer players in the future. If clubs really believed futsal was about development and not revenue, [b]they would just open up courts for free play and pick up games[/b]. Paying several hundred dollars for a handful of games is a ripoff. [/quote]

If you just made it free play, do you know how many kids would come?  Maybe about 6.  You charge $125 a kid and make teams with standings, you get enough kids for a league.  Makes no f-ing sense to me but this is the way it is.[/quote]

It seems like the regular season soccer coach could just schedule a practice once a week at a futsal court. I know most teams are practicing during the winter (at least on the older and top teams), so running a futsal session once a week should not be difficult. If these clubs are about development and futsal is all about development, I would expect that these types of practices would be happening. If this is mostly about the money, I can see why the value proposition of futsal is questionable.[/quote]
