Tried to play tennis yesterday, but the stupid futsal goals have were left on the court. I think today I’ll just throw them in a dumpster with all they other trash the futsal players leave.

You went to play tennis yesterday, in 19 degree wind chill on a blustery day. LOL. No you didn’t and no way you convinced anyone to join you either.

Serious tennis players don’t let the cold stop them.

My son plays on Alexandria's futsal league, and I have noticed that he has been getting hurt a lot in the games on the tennis courts, particularly when he falls. He fell the same amount when things were indoors last year, but didn't seem to have the giant bruises he has so far this year. I'm wondering if this is bad luck, or if the tennis courts are not the safest surface for this.


Why is he falling down so much? My kids both play and haven’t had any issues on the courts. If he’s in goal and diving- ok. Otherwise, teach him to get up as soon as he’s down from the youngest ages and stick his ground- don’t be knocked off the ball. I see some younger kids just throw themselves all around —get up!

Because he is 11 and playing in a combined U12-U13 league, so his opponents are much bigger and wind up pushing him over or knocking him down (without fouling). He has played futsal for five years, including futsal ID for the past two years on top of rec futsal, so he is well aware of how to play properly.

One of my kids is tiny and plays against older components and does not get knocked of the ball/knocked to the ground often. It’s him knowing his center of gravity, shielding, tenaciousness and ball skill...and playing against his older brother that has a foot in height and 60 pounds on him. Futsal does not allow for a lot if the contact that soccer does so physical difference is much less an issue.


Ok, if you say so. These kids were larger and taller than my husband, and my child is 4'8" and 72 lbs.

Sounds like he needs to adjust then.
