"The discount for MASC teams interested in playing Futsal is substantial", says Coach Bill Sampaio, director of New England Futsal.  A MASC team can register to play at the Norfolk County Futsal League which runs two winter sessions that include 7 regular season games and at least 1 playoff game during each session.  They can also opt to register at the Greater Fall River Futsal League which has one winter session comprised of 11 regular season games and at least 1 playoff game, for a minimum of 12 games. This introductory offer to MASC soccer teams is set at $495. per session.  That's a savings of $145./session (or $290 for both sessions) per team at the Norfolk County Futsal League and a savings of $255. at the Greater Fall River Futsal League. 

Each of the NEF leagues runs during the winter season.  Each session ends in a playoff and because the NEF affiliates are sanctioned by the United States Futsal Federation, all participating teams are eligible to compete for the 2006 Massachusetts Futsal State Cup tournament in January which serves as the qualifier for the Regional and National championships. 

NEF programs begin their game dates at the conclusion of the outdoor fall soccer season and games wind down prior to the start of spring soccer.
