... holding my breath. Sorry. I hope they have better luck than we did! Capitalization is the key, along with an economy with a lot of disposable income!...
I think you all had more luck than these guys will, seeing that nothing has been posted on their website in quite a while, and also seeing that it's July, and...
U.S. Soccer and the MISL seem to have a lock on things at the moment. An imaginative approach would be for the NBA to launch a league and call it Futbol Sala....
Good to hear from you. Other than capitalization, did you have any trouble with the USFF? ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and...
No, actually the USFF was very supportive of our efforts. We were able to negotiate a very favorable agreement for pro league recognition that enabled us to...
I beleive that it is much easier to create a professional league once you have created a youth league. It is much easier to sell tickets into an established...
Before I begin this treatise, I want to disclose several facts/opinions so there is no mistake over motives and the like. 1. According to the USFF website, I...
Very good comments, thanks. I see that you are co-chair of U.S. Futsal's Legal Committee, and in that capacity you are apparently a spokesman for U.S. Futsal. ...
I am not a spokesman for anyone but myself. If that was unclear in my previous post, please consider this a clarification. If I choose to speak on behalf of...
Quite frankly, I welcome Scott's input. Scott has been there and done that and has strong experience at organizing youth leagues and made a valiant attempt to...
I wrote the below proposal almost 1 year ago. I have now lost hope of obtaining a real democratic structure for USFF. Scott had mentioned that you don't shoot...
Paul, I have a part 2 of my article ready and it references heavily your article that you just reprinted. I was hoping to put it up tonight, but I cannot do...
What history teaches us that it takes between 40- 60 years from a sports inception before it develops a financially viable professional league. Baseball was a...
That sounds more accurate that you're speaking independently. I'll assume that you are speaking completely for yourself. I look forward to hearing more of your...
Tim, I hope that this can be a forum where we can all share our thoughts without putting them on Futsal On-line without the writer's express consent. rspcoswal...
... Tim - Thanks for the clarification. I will be posting Part 2 soon. If I ever presume to speak on behalf of someone besides myself, I will post my...
This post constitutes my personal opinion. It is not a statement from USFF, nor do I speak for any person other than myself. How can we grow the game of...
I think that your proposal makes lots of sense. Please implement it. You should be able to put such a proposal on the USFF's Agenda at its AGM and vote....
I too, am now on the outside looking in, as far as futsal goes, but this is the view from where I sit. I think a lot of people still miss what I think is a...
In the part b) of my wish list, I forgot to put that USSF would push for existing youth and adult amateur leagues to implement futsal as aprt of their program,...
This will all stay here on the discussion thread. ... === message truncated === __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want -...
Alex Para has been in office too long. He should step down and let someone else have a chance. I do not see this move creating confusion and disarray. Anyone ...
I do not believe Alex should necessarily step down. I think Alex simply needs to be elected by the membership in an open and fair election and not allow...
If an honest election could be assured, that could be a good option. But that seems like a reach at this point. I'd like to hear from the Member at Large, Hank...
In the absence of a professional league, would it make sense to organize Regional Futsal Leagues to promote high level amateur competition in the sport? Could...
Yes to all, if the interest is there. ... In the absence of a professional league, would it make sense to organize Regional Futsal Leagues to promote high...
Creation of regional futsal leagues is the approach that I like. Then the champions of north, south, east and west could meet for a semifinal, consolation and ...
I think that is a great idea. I would caution everyone by saying that I would think full time professionals from either indoor or outdoor leagues would be...
I think you are right about that Paul. I think it is an evolutionary concept. Tim shares my belief that such a structure could evolve into a professional...
I wonder, though, if it wouldn't take a full-out pro league to get the awareness to a level where there would be the interest to start regional amateur...
