Potential U.S. Futsal ID Camp Attendee,
From September 12 through 15 the United States Soccer Federation will be holding an Identification Camp for Futsal players to be considered for the U.S. Futsal National Team which will participate in CONCACAF Qualifying in 2012 and potentially the 2012 World Cup in Thailand. The camp will take place in Torrance, Calif.
This camp will serve as an introduction to the highest standard of Futsal within the U.S. and therefore space is extremely limited and will be by invitation only. During the three days of training attendees will be working with myself along with my U.S. Futsal National Team Staff.
Attached you will find an application to fill out in order that we can obtain general information about each potential player. I, along with the help of my staff and your references, will then begin the process of officially inviting those chosen. Please note that you must be an American citizen and have the ability to obtain a U.S. passport in order to participate.
It should be noted that for this event, you will be responsible for your own travel, hotel, transportation, and equipment costs.
