True, they want good content for their IG account and your child ain't it. If you have no interest in them getting better and become one of the featured kids, why do you keep going? Why are you complaining about it? Such whiny adults who ARE PAYING TO WHINE. Go buy another product you clown.

Why do you want your minor child filmed and plastered all of the web and not compensated? Putting them out there opens them up for unwanted feedback and criticism (imo) and for no personal gain unless you're getting free training and in exchange, you let clubs film your child for their again. Food for thoughts.

1) My kid happens to make it onto social media every now and then but he does not have an account and it is not tagged so it doesn't stick. We have made specific requests to not be filmed from certain IG-heavy organizations and they have obliged. The people who are filmed are the people who want to be filmed and that is their prerogative.

2) You're theoretically right IMHO about the unwanted feedback, pressure and criticism. However, why does it concern you what someone else is doing with their child? If they want your opinion, they will ask.

3) Previous poster is right about the whining. I will probably never play for my club again (they are a BIG MLS NEXT/ECNL club and we are on the A team) but I don't say anything. I will simply take my business elsewhere. I don't whine. They showed me how they operate. I don't like it. We move on. They will fill my spot without batting an eye and later claim they "developed" my kid later. None of this is my problem. My kid is my only focus.

This post is Spot on.

Context: My child does not play for False 8 and does not have an IG account.

He does, however, get featured on other accounts frequently while he plays at various tournaments. We don't mind it; it makes him feel special as he sees himself and other kids recognizing him at tournaments. He seems to use it as motivation to keep getting better. He's been asked to guest play a ton for futsal tournaments as a result, which has ultimately been very beneficial towards his continued development.

The amount of bickering and denseness in these forums are mind blowing. Why is it so hard to believe that businesses are leveraging social media as a marketing tool? Why is everyone putting every post under a microscope? For the most part, these are small businesses with small teams, not Fortune 50 companies with massive marketing teams. Go do a trial, if you like it, stay and if you don't, then leave.

Also, for whatever reason, the parents on DCUM feel that their child should be nurtured by a lifelong mentor or something. These are coaches, often making very little money, who are doing their job of developing your child. They will eventually move on and work for another club, and the cycle continues. And just like the quote above, we should also take the same approach: when a club is no longer best for your child, move on with no hard feelings.

It is "hard to believe" because they are all parents of children not getting featured. As adults they can easily follow the logic, but don't want to because it hurts their feelings. The logic is simple: the kids being filmed do the drills well and are talented. This makes for better content to help with their business. The whiny parents have a kid who is not being filmed because they do not do the drill well enough. So they complain about the filming instead of using it to motivate their kid to get better. They are the same loser parents who throw a fit their kid doesn't play as much as other kids when it’s obvious they aren't as good and shouldn't play as much. This environment is full of loser adults who are no better than a brat kid.

False8 isn’t good at futsal, and their ‘top’ players aren’t even the best on their own teams…

but this is truth.

Truth.

I don't know if you're talking about the boys or girls side but False8 has a bunch of the top girls in the area.

Haha. Arlington dad, I see you.

Ha, I did sound Arlington-dad-ish. But definitely not.

Its Mclean turned Union Mom
