US Youth Soccer recognizes this value, and by offering this event, will reward those players and clubs with a pathway to achievement.”
United Futsal’s expertise and reputation earned through years of organizing some of the country’s premier futsal programs and events will provide invaluable support to augment the experience and resources that US Youth Soccer will offer.
“We are thrilled to be back working with USYS to deliver outstanding value for its members,” said United Futsal President Rob Andrews. “Our collective years of experience, combined with the talent-rich USYS State Association futsal clubs and programming, will allow us to create a true competition pathway for all USYS members.”
