How's US futsal associated with US soccer? Are they separate entities or is there a parent-child relationship? Some countries like Brazil treat both as separate.

One of those "local" kids listed hasn't lived in NTX for 2 or 3 years.

Thanks. In Brazil, Futsal is treated as a separate entity to keep the sport in its most pristine form (mostly done to have financial and political freedom).
