Now, you can tell he only focuses on a handful of players. Again, like a broken record those IG stars are talented but CR and False 8 did not develop them.

All these club neutrals clubs will grab all the best kids and post them on their social media and have people believe they had something to do with their development.

False 8, In10sity and Champions Premier all does it.

This!!! Preach for the ones in the back!

Curious. What happened to starting in the back and working up to the front? Does that not exist anymore?

Has anybody ever spent time getting feedback from the coaches after the session about their kids poor technique and then spent 100-200 reps per day with their child until they looked better completing the reps in the False 8 class?

No feedback is ever given. They hardly even know the names of the kids that attend

So the clubs don’t care about the kids and the club-neutral programs don’t care about the kids? Is it like this everywhere or just the DMV?

Imagine letting a club neutral program tell you what you can do with your child in your free time. If you have F8 training and tournament then play with them as they expect. If you are free then go play wherever you want. If you let any program restrict you and your child then thats your own fault and you deserve to be left behind.

We are trying out F8 futsal this year and we havent had a single game yet.. so I dont know where the "my child isnt getting opportunities to play but goes to every session". We go to every session and if my child doesnt get a fair chance then my tune will change. But lets not create false narratives for parents who are actually trying.

F8 sessions might be 40-50 kids but they are broken into groups of maybe 10 max with a coach. Again more lies because you are said your kid isnt on IG? Who cares about IG and your parent managed account. Will your kid get better from extra touch and extra sessions? If you dont think so then please share where kids should be running to for extra training

Hey look this kid trained with us and now he's with this academy etc.

At the end of the day, they only care to get more kids cause more kids mean more money.

No they don’t mix. We are looking at other futsal clubs and having my child leave the program. I think coaches should practice what they preach on Instagram.

I also agree. A typical False8 session: (A parent's perspective)

40-50 kids arrive.
Warm Ups.
-Demonstrations are completed by the same kids over and over, the IG kids.
IG Kids are put into 1 or 2 groups.
Everyone else is split into other groups.
Kids do all the circuits.
They film the IG kids for a post that day.
Your kid is left keeping up with the other kids.
Concluding session and motivational speech by 1 Coach.
-End result: 10 kids feel like they belong, 40 kids are just grinding away doing sloppy reps wondering why they signed up.

Some pros: The fitness is high level, lots of touches, motivational speech at the end
Big areas to improve: Newer kids might feel invisible, the secondary coaches (station coaches) just keep the kids moving, its so much hustle for little kids, some might not want to come back, parents who are juiced in/ bulldozer parents who talk to the instructors before hand seem to have their kid featured more, this is a Type A dog-eat-dog training program

Personally, we Love/ Hate it. My kid doesn't want to go unless they have a good friend going too. And it takes a bit to convince other parents to send their kids as they have a negative rep for the older kids & families (that is why they primarily only have little kids attend (u8-u10). We just do the random sessions and are not on the Futsal program.

The touches are all that matters. The instagram thing is completely irrelevant. Who cares either way?
