The Premier Arena Soccer League is the parent organization for a system of leagues of indoor soccer in the United States, Canada, and Mexico below the top-level Major Indoor Soccer League. Five leagues currently run as members of the PASL family: the PASL Men's Premier League, the PASL Women's Premier League, the PASL Youth Premier League, the Circuito Mayor de Futbol Rapido, and the Canadian Major Indoor Soccer League (CMISL). A professional division, called PASL-Pro has been announced and will begin play in the fall of 2008.

The PASL-Pro division will is the league's foray into the professional ranks, and expects to have each team play a 16-game schedule running from October 25 through March. Partnering with Mexico's F.I.F.R.A. (Federation Internatonal Futbol Rapido Association) to create its own league and have a finals match with the PASL, the league is aiming for the United States and Canada for teams, hoping to draw arenas varying in capacity from 2,500 to 7,500 seats.

On May 18, at the league meetings at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, they announced the first two teams to join that league. The Stockton Cougars (formerly the California Cougars of the MISL) will be switching leagues, and the Premier Men's team Wenatchee Fire will be launching a pro team to play at the brand-new Greater Wenatchee Regional Events Center. A final team lineup, league schedule, and playoff format will be announced at the next owners' meeting on June 18. ^[1]
