This is a great
opportunity for our local area futsal enthusiasts.
The US Futsal Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Regional
Championships hosted in Massachusetts this past
February was, by all measures, a resounding
success. Massachusetts came away from the
regional competitions with more gold medals than
any other state in our region. This will be the Federation's
initial attempt at having the National
Championships on the east coast. Combined
with the Federation's willingness to expand upon the
opportunities for teams to compete at the National
level this will serve to benefit all of the teams
wishing to be involved from our area. Don't let this opportunity pass
you by.
