Dear Coach / Manager, Welcome to the The schedules for each age group competition are available, posted at http://www.socceragency.net/mapsfutsal/2008/08_PA_StateChamp_Homepage.htm Directions to the indoor venue can be accessed from the same site. Specifically they can be found at: United A nicely illustrated presentation of the Futsal Laws of the Game can be found on the USFF website at http://futsal.zortal.com/ZortalPortal.aspx?tabid=47279 The specific rules covering the Eastern Pennsylvania State Championship competition should be read at http://www.socceragency.net/mapsfutsal/2008/08_PA_StateChamp_Rules.htm Moving on to administrative details: team registration will be prior to your first game. Please arrive at least 40 minutes before your first game to provide adequate time to process these matters. Each team will need to present a Player Registration & Release form for each youth player (http://www.futsal.org/publications/youth.pdf) or adult player (http://www.futsal.org/publications/amateur.pdf), plus Team Roster (http://www.socceragency.net/mapsfutsal/2008/08_Roster.pdf). You can print the forms from these sites. Teams that already have rosters and individual USFF player registrations filled out for participation in other recognized Futsal Leagues may use those forms. If you are not currently registered with US Futsal, please have each parent/player complete the Player Registration & Release form. Also complete the Team Roster Form for your team. For players not currently registered with US Futsal, the player registration fee is $4 per player to participate in the State Championships; make your check payable to “MAPS Futsal”. We are using a streamlined registration process at a reduced registration cost for those initially participating solely in the State Championships, but teams that advance to the Regionals or who will be playing in full-time leagues will need to undertake the full player carding process and pay an additional $3/player. (A permanent player pass for $7.00 covers the player for all Futsal activities for the entire seasonal year.) You will need to bring a facial photograph (face must fill a square inch) when you apply for the permanent pass. The State Champions and Finalists at U10 thru U14, U16 and
U19 automatically qualify to represent Again we look forward to a wonderful State Championship competition. Yours in Futsal,
Steve Shilling President MAPS Futsal |
