Changes are needed at U.S. Futsal. In fact, they're way overdue

U.S. Soccer needs to drop its laissez faire attitude and take a
serious look.

I originally started futsalonline.com in order to advocate futsal and
cover its growth in the U.S., but most of the time I've been covering
the growth of futsal everywhere except the U.S.

The U.S. Futsal Federation conducts a so-called national tournament
every year, and U.S. pro indoor off-the-wall leagues send U.S. teams
to international tournaments, but, aside from that, there's almost
nothing going on in with futsal the U.S.

I originally started writing about futsal in the early 1980s when I
serving as associate editor of Soccer America Magazine. I saw some
futsal games in the San Francisco Bay Area, thought it was a great
sport and still think it's a great sport.

I talked about the game with Osvaldo Garcia, the original president
of the U.S. Minisoccer Federation, which later became U.S. Futsal,
and wrote as much as I could about the sport.

The current president and chief executive officer of U.S. Futsal,
Alex Para, was a support person at that time, performing
administrative duties for the Minisoccer Federation.
