The City Park has three soccer fields and these are packed aii the time. There is a great demand for soccer in this community and any open grassy area becomes a soccer'field. To provide to the city's Youth and residents additional and a similar altemative recreational opportunity, the city proposes the construction of a futsal park including three futsal courts; one indoor standard size court and two outdoor courts, one league size and one g/4 size for the younger players. Futsal is similar to soccer with similar rules. Some of the main differences are the size of the courts, goals, and number of players and time allotted to play. Due to the smaller court and goals the game is played at a much faster pace making it rnore challenging tlian regular soccer. The smaller size courts are also an advantage, with land at a premium in the City more courts may be located in the area required by one full size soccer field thus providing more opportunities to play. Futsal is gaining popularity. This is a well-established, organized and monitored intemationa( sport. FIFA (Federation Internationale de Futbal Association) monitors the sport, setup the bylaws, rules and provides trained and certified referees. In the United Stated the US Futsal Federation guides the sport. Futsal is an intemational game with its' own World Cup. The World Cup Games are set to start November 21, 2004 and the US National Team is one of the teams that will play this year in Taipei, China. After the facility is built, the cify intends to coordinate between the City's Parks and , Recreation Department and the US Futsal Federation to start leagues of different ages � . , i �� . �; (5-18 and adult) to play at the new facility, arrange futsal camps and training sessions for the Youth leagues and other futsal related activities at the new facility. � RECCOMM.LOSAMIGOSPARKSUMMARY
