Held At 619 Futsal – Regional Camps Are Path to National Futsal I.D. Camp
2015 Southwest Region Futsal I.D. Camp will be held at 619 FUTSAL in San Diego.
PLAYERS CAN STILL SIGN UP TO SEE IF THEY CAN PARTICIPATE
Futsal I.D. is the nation’s first-ever futsal player identification program, designed to identify and develop elite players in the most challenging and competitive environment possible.
The program includes eight regional Futsal I.D. camps and the U.S. Youth Futsal National I.D. Camp, from which youth national teams are selected. It also serves as a pipeline for the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Futsal Teams.
“The top players at each Regional I.D. Camp are selected for the regional teams,” said Director of Futsal I.D. Soorena Farboodmanesh. “The regional teams will attend the National I.D. Camp, at which youth national teams are named.”
Camps are led by Keith Tozer and the U.S. Youth Futsal Coaching Staff.
