HOME PAGE OF MINNESOTA FUTSAL

THE FINEST FACILITIES AND THE BEST, MOST BALANCED FUTSAL COMPETITION IN MINNESOTA! 

We are THE ONLY futsal league in the Twin Cities sanctioned by United States Youth Futsal and affiliated with United States Soccer. We employ only US Soccer futsal certified referees for our games. The Minnesota Futsal League is the only league that provides 2 referees for U16 and older teams. We think it is critical that the older age groups have 2 experienced officials to call the game properly.

Sanctioned by U.S. Youth Futsal

TC Sala Academy Development Center

2023-2024 TC Sala Academy and Development Centers

 
Minnesota Futsal is proud to announce that we are continuing our TC Sala Academy and Development Centers for the 2023-2024 season!
 
TC Sala Academy is a 10 month program that trains throughout the year and competes in several Academy specific events as well as USYF Regional/National tournaments.  We are completely club neutral and our players represent many of the top clubs and programs from around the state of Minnesota.  
 
We were recognized as one of the top Futsal Academies in the country last year having 9 teams qualify for the USYF National Championships in 2023, 3 of which advanced out of group play, 2 of our teams finished as National Champion Finalist (2007 Boys and 2010 Girls) at the 2023 National Championships.  
 
In addition, over 75 TC Sala Academy players have been selected to either the first team or the alternate pool for the USYF International Teams that play in International Competitions over the past 5 years.  A special congratulations go out to the following superstars that earned this achievement in 2023:
 
BOYS:  Miguel 2012, Elias 2012, Finn 2010, Colin 2009, Wiktor 2009, Sebastian 2008,  Jack,2008, Axel 2007, Finn 2007, Justin 2007, Jason 2006, Evan 2005, Jack 2005.
 
GIRLS:  Ida 2010, Sophia 2010, Lou 2008, Lili 2007
 
We are ready for another year of development and can't wait to see our kids competing on that stage again.  Players will need to attend a tryout to be selected for an Academy Team and tryouts will be held in November.  We are planning to field teams for boys and girls from U9-U19.  
 

TC Sala Development Centers are the foundation of TC Sala and support training environments all around the metro.  Each Development Center will include 1.5 hour training sessions for kids that are looking to further develop their futsal skills. Sessions will focus on individual development and include best-practice training techniques used with our USYF National Teams. Whether your focus is making the USYF National Team or just improving your overall game, this is a great opportunity to learn from some of the top futsal instructors in the area. All sessions will be led by current United States Youth Futsal National Coaching Staff member Brian Catrine, 'The Maestro' Fernando Jimenez, UNW Head Coach and USYF Minnesota ID Staff member Greg Wheaton, USYF Minnesota ID Staff member Aaron Lindquist, or former United States Mens National Futsal Team Captain and current USYF National Coaching Staff member Todd Dusosky.

We are extremely excited to have such a talented coaching staff and look forward to developing the future of futsal in Minnesota!

Player Safety and Background Checks

Thank you for participating in USYF.

Power of Protection: As of August 1, 2018, USYF is proud to announce our new Player Safety Initiatives.

USYF now requires all staff members, registered coaches, and team managers take the U.S. Center for SafeSport.org online course link which covers sexual abuse, hazing, bullying, emotional and physical misconduct, and the new, mandated by law reporting obligations. You will receive a code to take this course for FREE and the link after you register. Upon completion of the SafeSport Course, you will need to upload your Certificate to your USYF coaching profile.

In addition, USYF now mandates national best of breed background checks for all coaches. As part of the organization's focus on player safety. USYF has selected Reference Services (RSI) through Stack Sports/U.S. Soccer Connect for Background Checks.

"A player's safety on a futsal court is of paramount importance to our entire organization," said Jon Parry, Executive Director and founder of USYF. "We want to set the highest of standards. The online training is free for USYF coaches and staff and the national background checks cost $10.00. Working together, we will provide the safest environment and raise the standards for futsal in America."

In addition, there is a jurisdictional search of the court records of the more than 3,347 counties in the USA for felonies and misdemeanors as well as criminal traffic offenses.  FBI, Interpol and other databases are also searched.

 

3. USYF Background Check link (International) https://register.htgsports.net/default.aspx?id=11662

If you do not have a Social Security number you will need to complete an International Background check instead of a US Background check above. This process will typically take 4-6 weeks to complete so please plan accordingly

The cost for this background check is $28 for Canadian residents and $55 for all other countries.
