“BE CREATIVE, SHOW YOUR SOCCER IQ, LOVE WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND HAVE FUN,” SAID BOWERS.  “REMEMBER YOU HAVE BE BOTH AN OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE PLAYER.”

When asked about the difference in physicality between the outdoor game, Bowers highlights his first experience with the U.S. Futsal National Team and his reaction to the different aspects of the game.

http://619futsal.com/“I was called up to the national team in 1996 for a trip to Brazil,” says Bowers. “I had never played or heard of futsal and when we got to Brazil and played our first game I was very perplexed why I was called up. I was 6’2” and 195 lbs. and just came off my first year in the MLS as a defender where fouling and being physical is part of the game.”

 

“FUTSAL, AS I LEARNED THE HARD WAY, IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME AND THERE WAS ZERO TOLERANCE IN BEING PHYSICAL WHEN COMPETING IN THE GAME OF FUTSAL — FOR THAT ALONE I WONDERED WHY I WAS CALLED UP,” SAYS BOWERS.

“Futsal is about movement and being technical in small places and being physical, unlike outdoor soccer, is not part of the game.”
