Massachusetts Futsal Association History

In the fall of 1997 and winter of 1998, former Mass Youth Soccer Director of Coaching Dennis Lukens along with Hank George and other coaches organized the first futsal leagues in Massachusetts, establishing games in Newton, Natick, Concord and Quincy. Mike Resnicow of Newton took over the organization and helped grow the sport in 1999 before his death in 2000.

Thereafter, Paul and Theresa Dupre acquired then InSoccer from the Resnicow family. From 2000-2004 the Dupre family was responsible for the enormous growth of the sport in Massachusetts. They synthesized many aspects of the program into the strong program it is today are are greatly responsible for the success of futsal in the Commonwealth.

In 2005 the Dupre family hired Jason Miller to run the day-to-day operations of InSoccer and his role expanded ever since. In 2006 Jason changed the organization's name to Massachusetts Futsal, and at the conclusion of the 2009 season the Dupre family passed on InSoccer and Massachusetts Futsal to Jason, who has led the program since.

The 2010-11 season saw the use of a second facility, Fessenden School, on a full-time basis. Five courts were used all day every Saturday, highlighting the growth of futsal in Massachusetts. The first-ever women's division and formal co-ed divisions were instituted during Session Two.

For 2011-12 the Massachusetts Futsal Association opened a new facility in Lowell, Mass and added regular Saturday games at the Rashi School in Dedham. Director of Officials Soorena Farboodmanesh was named Mass Ref Committee Administrator of the Year for his efforts with the two organizations and success training and developing futsal referees.

During the 2012-13 season, the MFA welcomed the new MGA Sports facility in Norwood, Mass with more than 30 games at the site during the first league session. The new volleyball-futsal site also served as training facility for state futsal teams and hosted the 110-team Northeast Regional Championships -- which was at the time the largest tournament in the history of US Youth Futsal/Super F. Jeff Lamy was appointed director of the Lowell program.

The 2013-14 season saw Brighton High School enter the list of regular venues, while the MFA hosted the first-ever U.S. Youth Futsal coaching course and the first-ever Regional I.D. camp.

The 2014-15 season saw the facility addition of Athletic Evolution in Woburn, a collaboration between the MFA North league and FutsalNH and the hosting of two U.S. Youth Futsal coaching courses, another Level 3 and the first-ever Level 4. The Northeast Regional I.D. camp welcoming 150 players and the Northeast Regional Championships welcomed 173 teams, a record for a futsal tournament. Session Two of league play broke another record, with 262 teams participating. Soorena Farboodmanesh and Jason Miller were named to the U.S. Youth Futsal National Coaching Staff.
