The Club my kids are with is very similar regarding how they approach tournament play. They will find the tournaments, leagues, etc. that are developmentally appropriate for each specific team. It won't be the same for every age group, gender, etc. It really depends on the teams. Then, you also have to get accepted into the tournaments as well. Also, they put a vote out to the parents at times to see how many and where they want to go. This is nice because some parents prefer everything local, etc.






Exactly. Unless your futsal is very experienced then the money and time suck of the NJ tournament is actually silly to attend.

Maybe you all should ask someone that is actually in the program. My daughter has played Futsal ID for ASA for several years. No difference exists between the boys or girls in terms of coaches/coaching, cost, tournaments etc.
What you are seeing is someone that is not involved or informed about the program making assumptions on what they dont know. The club offers multiple levels of Futsal with different costs, different amounts of practices, different coaching options and so on.

If you kid qualifies for a Futsal ID team they will play and train the most, attend the most tournament, pay the most for that experience and so on.

Enough of the bashing already. A 16 year old kid is looking for a program to play in. ASA offers multiple levels and options. Its a good program bottom line.

let the record show that Alexandria really does cater to boys.

I know the Alexandria staff has a lot of time in the office counting money but Ray Charles sees this


look at the 2008 girls and boys..

(drops the mic)


Pick up the mic...both boys and girls project the same State/Regional/National Championships based on approval by technical staff as stated, i.e., whether a particular team is competitive enough for higher level tournaments. The boys sheet just broke out these possible tournaments into the table.

That was my experience too.



easy to see.. look at the projected tournaments for boys and girls. Both are paying same amount of money but really look at the 2008 boys they damn near participating at every tournament you can imagine.


Exactly. I pulled my daughter after conversations with the program showed me they weren't willing to put the extra effort into her development.

Not my experience and simply not true. The girls teams get the same coaches and training, and do the same tournaments, as the boys. The boys tend to perform better because they have better players, not because they are "catered" to more.



maybe you should see the post above.. its clear who they cater to more.

are you scared to show the link? Im sure by now Alexandria put down the link that shows projected tournaments for boys and girls

I would too


Somebody obviously has an agenda combined deception and technical illiteracy. You will see some people who run rival programs spread a lot of crap about futsal, especially Alexandria. Here are the links to which the PP referred, which show that he is both lying and stupid (or too lazy to click through to see that he is wrong):

Here's the U16 Red girls schedule: https://alexandria-soccer.demosphere-secure.com/_f...%20ID%20Overview%202019_20.pdf

Here's the U16 Red boys schedule (they've won a national championship): https://alexandria-soccer.demosphere-secure.com/_f...%20ID%20Overview%202019_20.pdf

Same training schedule. Same tournaments. Same costs. Same lies from competitors.

The ID sessions are over but you should feel free to contact the coach if you are interested. The league includes both ID teams, futsal teams from other clubs, and rec teams. They divide and group teams appropriately. I don't know if they allow individual player registration.
