Here's what past participants are saying about FUTSAL EAST...
"My entire team thoroughly enjoyed the league. It was a good change of pace for them, a quicker, fast paced game that forced them to develop intuitive and strategic soccer skills. As a coach I thought it was awesome!"
"Several girls on our team asked if we
were doing the 3rd session because they had so much fun and were bummed
when they learned there were only two sessions...the girls had a great
time and looked forward to playing every week, and we will definitely be
back next year and hopefully splitting our team into two futsal teams." "There are plenty of invitational, district, state tournament where the competitive aspect rules the day. I have coached traveling teams for 10+ years. I think it is nice to have a break from the competitive aspect and let the players have fun!!"
"My players had great fun. They liked the
small teams, lots of touches, and a good workout. Our keeper especially
liked it because of the action, working in crowded quarters, 1 on 1
situations, etc. Players were able to work on the skills basics they've
been training on, e.g., triangles, playing the way they're facing, 1 on
1 defense, second defender, making runs without the ball, etc."
"The boys really enjoyed Futsal. Every
time the boys have a chance 'to touch the ball' they are gaining skills
and confidence. It also gave the boys a chance to play together in a
laid back atmosphere, so I think the boys also got to know each other
better."
"They had a lot of fun. While traveling
soccer is more serious, Futsal gave them a chance to practice, play and
improve, but be a little less serious about it during games." "The kids had a lot of fun, many said they liked it more than soccer. It was informal and at the same time game-like. It was great for foot skills, largely because of the extra touches."
"The kids really enjoyed the program. The cost was very reasonable compared to other programs, which charge around $800/session and would have probably eliminated any playing opportunity for my bunch."
"We liked how fast the game was. As the
season progressed the kids developed their passing and made better
decisions."
"Thanks for setting up this league. Our
kids had fun and enjoyed the program. For us it was a learning
experience in foot skills and decision making." "Keep the futsal league going...you accomplished your goal of creating a league that balanced fun and development!" |
