[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Thanks for the added leagues. Sounds like plenty to choose from. I thought Alexandria was for rec players only?[/quote]

Not at all.  They have the futsal ID program, which is fairly competitive, and tryouts for many age groups are already underway.  But, there is also a travel division within the rec league, for players who are travel players but do not want to/did not get a spot on futsal ID.   It is affordable and fun - but no practices, just one game per week.[/quote]

I would say that Alexandria's Futsal ID team is the most competitive team in the area. DC Hyper as well but I haven't heard about them in a while. I'm not sure DC Hyper had teams last winter. On the flip side, I didn't even know Alexandria had a futsal "rec" league.  I know I'll get flack on this but I wouldn't even bother with futsal with a rec kid unless he/she is a top rec kid improving and really, really wanting to improve.  As many people have said, you play futsal, you need to have a very good first touch, footskill, and basically all the technical skills or the ball is constantly out of play and the game sucks.  For the average rec player, I would do basketball. : )[/quote]

Alexandria's 'futsal rec' isn't really rec I believe. It's teams that their travel players that don't want to commit to Futsal ID because it has winter practices (2-3 times per week depending on team) and they play travel basketball or hockey or a winter sport that interferes with that--or they didn't get a spot.  The teams are formed themselves (though there are free agents that need a team that can be placed) and they can either have their own coach or hire a travel one for a small fee.  The ID teams have been together a long time, practice weekly, play tournaments, have set plays so they usually will win against the teams formed just for fun, even when those teams are filled with top area players.

Just my observance for kids 5 years doing futsal with them.  But, I stand to be corrected with no animosity if I'm wrong.[/quote]
