YOUTH SOCCER INFORMER

U.S. Soccer, in partnership with Nike, will host a youth futsal invitational from April 20-24 at The Home Depot Center as part of a new U.S. Soccer player development initiative to encourage the country's elite youth players to play futsal.

U.S. Soccer National Team coaches selected the top boys' and girls' clubs in Southern California to enter two U-13/14 teams into the event. The 32 teams will play three group games on Saturday and Sunday and the group winners will participate in the girls' semifinals and final on Tuesday and the boys' semifinals and finals on Wednesday.
