Tim,

Greetings!  I am with the Boys & Girls Club of Lansing, MI, and we are currently considering integrating Futsal into our physical fitness programs.  Being a non-profit organization, we are in the process of procuring funds for this venture.  I was looking around online today for estimated training costs for coaches and referees.  The Michigan Futsal page is fairly desolate, so I thought contacting someone that seems to be very astute in the Futsal community might be the most viable option.

We provide services to children ages 7-17 and utilize volunteer coaches and referees for our physical education programs.  I noticed in much of the literature that Futsal has been introduced to Boys & Girls Clubs around the nation, though we had not heard anything of it until recently.  It seems like a good fit for our inner-city location and any resources or information you can provide us would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and have a pleasant day!

Brett K. Sharpe
