Sorry about the late posting, but I just found out yesterday that MLS Futbolito is coming to DC this Saturday, July 23. I've never participated in this event and was thinking of bringing my girls U-10 team out. Is there anyone here who has participated in Futbolito before and can give me their overall impressions? Also, was thinking of signing up myself (for non-$$$). Any info on adult rec? Thanks, Tom
It's worth going. You get a real small field and play 4-on-4. You mainly use your ball control skills. Surprisingly most aren't hispanic. Just a party atmosphere, good fun. But if you want to go you better find a team or create one fast, the deadline might be over with. I'm not going but if you (or anyone) goes have fun. Definitely worth going.
My son is playing in a U-8 division. I'll report back on how they did. FWIW, his team took 1st place at a tourney this past weekend, and 3rd the weekend before. Lots of soccer this summer, which is a good thing. PS I've heard that it can be more competitive than some tourneys, but that's just hearsay--this is my first year, so I really can't say. PPS If I may brag a little, my son's team is a U-7 team playing up a year in U-8 tourneys and leagues, so it ain't easy for them.
Hey, the deadline is tomorrow. Go to http://www.mlsfutbolito.com/event.php?lang=eng&city=wdc to register and get info. Good luck, and hope you guys make it. From what I've heard, it's a lot of fun.
Thanks very much. I already registered my girls team (U-10) and may enter in myself. What team will you son be playing with. I'll look for you out there.
