2012–13 PASL season

The Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL) is a North American indoor soccer league. The PASL is an affiliated member of the FIFRA (Federation International Futbal Rapido Association). [1]

Contents

History [edit]

The PASL was organized on May 18, 2008 as an offshoot of the Premier Arena Soccer League (PASL-Premier), the nation's largest amateur league. The league was originally named "PASL-Pro" to distinguish it from PASL-Premier. [2] The first league game was played on October 25, 2008 at Stockton Arena, with the California Cougars defeating the Colorado Lightning 10-5. [3]

Sponsorship [edit]

The official sportswear and technical kit supplier for the league is Admiral Sportswear.[4] The official ball is made by Baden Sports.[5]
