10. De-emphasize "Indoor Soccer," Emphasize Futsal Instead

FIFA only recognizes futsal as the official version of indoor soccer. Our version requires the randomness of hockey walls. Futsal is clearly a better way to train younger players on passing and dribbling skills without the luck involved with our indoor football. Today's basketball courts and current indoor soccer fields can be adjusted for modified versions of futsal.

As you can guess, American futsal's organization has been greatly divided, and this must change as well. We will also stop sanctioning any current indoor football professional league and work to develop futsal leagues in conjunction with the teams in new "APL" and other outdoor teams in the American soccer system.
