I think one is in KC, one in Vegas, and one in Orlando? All in July?

Different organizations

Vegas = U.S Futsal
KC = US Youth Futsal
Orlando = World Futsal

Odd that we have three separate organizations (U.S. Futsal, U.S. Youth Futsal, and United Futsal) each purporting to be running "national" futsal tournaments.

Which of these organizations is the strongest? Which national tournament is the most difficult? Where can we find past results for these tournaments?

Now that the events are over, looks like Orlando was the place the most talent was, with KC and Vegas far behind. Unfortunately, with competition spread out in those three places, the highest level wasn't anywhere , and with multiple governing bodies there was no need to "qualify" for anything. All comers were taken. That led to some great national level matches in some place and some 20 to 0 blowouts in others.

Now to reform AC Feb end of season so it is a good use of time and talent, as it is the best futsal comp in the nation at this pint.

Looks like locally Alexandria girls went pretty far at the Vegas nationals. Didn't notice any other local teams there.

AC had more teams for sure but didn’t have west coast teams. Vegas had many west coast teams that you generally won’t get to play around here. Most teams in Vegas have kids from top clubs like SD Surf, Legends, So Cal, Beach FC etc so the teams I thought were great team. Toque Futsal won in many age groups boys and girls. Did see some VA kids there playing for the west coast teams.

Local group Dynamo won the United National tournament on the boys side in the 2015,2014 and 2013 age groups

Dynamo 2014 was in Vegas. Great performance but lost to a team in quarter or semi I think.

Does it matter? Futsal is a dead-end between seasons gap fill.

So loud and proud while ignorant

The vast majority are playing 5v5 indoor soccer on a futsal court.
Very few are playing futsal

Even fewer will read this and know there is a difference

Probably true. Though I saw some futsal skills on many teams. Toque looks pretty good in terms of movements and foot skills. Jorge and District Dynamo look good as well
