Kyler Keo, who plays for the Oregon SC 2007/2008 Boys team, is headed to the Twin Cities this weekend for the U.S. Youth Futsal North Region Championships.

He'll be playing with the 2007 Forge team, which is run through the Madison Futsal League.

Forge will play three Minnesota teams - CFC, Sporting Minnesota and TC Sala Academy Blue - in Pool A play Saturday and Sunday in the U15 Boys division. The winners of the two groups will meet in Sunday's final.

Regional champions earn berths in the U.S. Youth Futsal National Championships, which are July 8-11 in Kansas City, while regional finalists get preferred status for nationals.

Good luck to Kyler from Oregon SC!

UPDATE: The Forge 2007 team won the U15 division, winning all three of their group matches and defeating Sporting Minnesota 07 (Messi) 5-2 in the final. Congratulations!
