Rose City Futsal

I’ve been coaching for 15 years. We enrolled several of our clubs Junior Academy teams for futsal. It’s meant to be a minimal contact game that encourages players to focus on technical ability and speed of play. I was very disappointed with the referees and a member of the coaching staff at Rose city… He allowed a lot of physical play, Taking away the true intent of the training environment… Allowing players to body other players off of the ball rather than improve their technical defense abilities.
When I respectfully approached the Rose city coaches, after allowing his players to boot the ball at least 15 times with no intent, hitting our players in the face and body, knocking players to the ground physically, allowing his players to swing through other players legs and ankles … Missing the ball completely rather than winning the ball with defensively technical play, two of our players got hit in the mouth with elbows, players had to come out of the game …
he simply said «there’s a long waiting list… If you don’t like it… You can leave» and «I play semi pro futsal and there’s a lot of physical play there…»
What a terrible representation US futsal and just bad business.
I personally won’t be enrolling in this program again and unfortunately many of our parents were disappointed with the cost to return on investment. If what you’re looking for is a true technical training environment… Minimal contact, futsal technical growth … This doesn’t appear to be the place to go. It’s really unfortunate because futsal is a great game and can improve players technical ability immensely, if coached and officiated correctly.
I had to field several complaints, rightfully so, from parents about the difference between the futsal environment our club has created for player growth and this experience. Was really hoping for a positive experience for our players bummed it didn’t go that way. There’s some great people involved in this facility and program … I’m hoping it changes for the better.

Still have seen no safety upgrades at RCF… there have seen too many adult players and children get injured at this facility, please be aware of concrete walls fencing and netting if you let your children play here.

My daughter has taken classes and also just started playing on one of their «select» teams. The coaches at Rose City are amazing both in the quality of their coaching, and also in their enthusiasm for the game. The weekly practices are one of the highlights of my daughter’s week, and we can’t wait until the winter season starts!

We are on RCF’s mailing list because we have spent tons of money there on futsal. Today, at 3, they sent an email out inviting people to come for the Timbers game. They advertised food, open play and beverages. We went. First, there was NO open play. Every field was occupied by adult games the entire time. The beer line was 20 minutes long and the place was not even full. And… then the food. We ordered halfway through the first half and had NOTHING by the END of the game. Well over an hour and a half later… NO food. People everywhere were complaining and their answer was to stop taking food orders at Halftime! We left without ever getting our food because the game was over and our children were starving. What a bunch of idiots!!! Completely incompetent and unapologetic. Hey idiots — if you are going to send an advertisements to hundreds of people — be actually ready for them to show up. This place has a devoted audience ready to love them and they continue to F up. Get an actual manager who knows how to operate a restaurant. We will never go there again and we will be sure the entire NE Portland soccer community is aware of our experience.
Update: I received a very timely and appropriate response from RCF (including a personal phone call) acknowledging the difficulties and unacceptable service they had this night, apologizing and offering to refund my money. Mistakes happen and I have a lot of respect for a business that acknowledges them straight up without excuses. Commendable response, RCF.

Is there an ability to give negative stars? The place lacks management and any kind of adult supervision. They sent out an email to come and watch the Timbers game and then failed to serve food or drink as an actual restaurant. Completely unacceptable. 2 hours waiting for food!!! I will never come here EVER again! Anyone who does, does it at their own peril. The restaurant is an abomination and should be closed down by the owners until they can figure out how to actually run things, WHICH one would assume they’d learn after a year in business. NEVER AGAIN.

awesome place to let your kids’ energy out while you can have a beer.
The owner is so nice and has great customer service!
BEST PLACE

I’ve worked at indoor soccer facilities for a combined 4 years or so, played indoor and outdoor my whole life. Rose City Futsal is, hands-​down, the best environment for futsal I’ve ever seen.
Great schedules, competent refs, the right atmosphere (nobody two-​footing you on a work night kinda thing), bar with local beer on tap and surprisingly good food, friendly staff, hour-​long game blocks that afford an actual warm-​up, everything in good shape (scoreboards, turf, game balls, etc), awesome viewing areas throughout, reasonable temperature (a little stuffy in the summer, but still better than most), and a pro-​shop. They don’t even gauge you for player cards, just $ 5 one-​time and that’s it, for life!
Personal preferences: no walls, good set of house rules, and tightly-​called games. Even the ownership group plays here, so they have an ear to the ground as to what’s happening.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. I’ve been in the Portland soccer scene for about 5 years now, and this place is simply the best.

Best, fullest pints poured I’ve had in all of Portland! Cheers & thank you Rose City Futsal!!!

Super psyched to have another soccer/​futsal establishment in town! RCF is large, clean and bright, with two smaller turf courts and one larger basketball-​floor court (my favorite). So far all the games have been fun and fair, and no complaints on the refs or players. All the staff are friendly and are glad to be there– you can tell opening this place was a labor of neighborhood love.
I haven’t hung out at Clive’s yet, but it’s clearly the nicest après game watering hole. And it will be nice to have Far Post there for when I forget my socks.

We love this place, finally somewhere the whole family is happy. Indoor soccer for our 10 year old daughter, coffee for mama, beer for daddy (and mama) play area with trains and dinosaurs for our 3 year old twins. Good food at a good price. Friendly happy staff, and you can even watch the match you just played in on one of the TV’s. We will be back, a lot!

Our daughter’s soccer team held its end of the season party here this weekend, where the kids thoroughly enjoyed the open play. I thought the facility was beautiful. The Clive’s restaurant catered a delicious meal for the team and the player’s families, and had a tasty selection of beer for the mingling adults. Great place! Really well-​run, with an excellent staff.

We took my daughter’s whole soccer team and their families for open play and dinner on Friday night. Everyone had an outstanding time. The facility is beautiful, clean and in perfect shape. The staff was helpful and really nice. The parents liked that they could have a pint while the kids played. The food was very good. We had quinoa and kale salad that was excellent as well as BBQ pork sandwich with pickled onions that was great and a baked mac and cheese that was a huge hit with the kids. Everyone said they will be back. I can’t say enough positive about this place!
