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.”
“We appreciated the cost and 'show up and play' mentality. It was all simple once the team was formed. Putting together teams took some time but it was worth it in the end. Thanks for all of your time in organizing, it was very enjoyable!”
“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!”
