1. Every team in youth sports will have folks pass through who are unhappy with the experience. You can’t be competitive and make everyone happy all the time.

2. Futsal is not soccer. It’s a different sport and many soccer players who are effective in the open field struggle in tight spaces with the ball at their feet. In10sity teams routinely beat all of the big name soccer clubs in the area when they play over the winter months because they play real futsal.

3. In10sity is a meritocracy - nobody gets something they didn’t earn. Kids compete for spots on tournament rosters every week. The trainings are excellent and the environment extremely competitive.

4. The coaches are some of the best my kid has worked with (that includes top level club MLSNext/ECNL, odp, etc..). They are demanding, but never insulting or demeaning. The kids always feel like they have their support and I personally haven’t met one player yet who wouldn’t run through a wall for their coaches. The coaches are passionate not just about the club but about the game and that passion translates into exceptional training. It has nothing to do with what kids are learning at their respective soccer clubs, and everything to do with the attention and experience delivered by the staff.

5. Do yourself a favor and come check out the club and make up your own mind. If you’re looking for a highly competitive environment where the players push each other harder than any coach could, and where your kid can learn to work hard for what they want, this might be a good landing spot.

Do they play offensive/sexualized music and/or music that glorifies violence for the children they are entrusted with?

That alone makes the team competitive (the talent pool). The organization and coaches have no clue how to run and evolve a futsal team.

I disagree, they seem to be some of the only coaches in the NoVa who are completely capable of coaching futsal Trust me, I've had 3 years of travel coaches trying to coach futsal as a side winter gig, none of them know what they are doing. They are all faking it and taking your money. This is a futsal pure program, not a league club that just participates in a winter futsal league.

You're anti confidence in youth sports?
