Brief Team History
The Kangaroos were one of six charter members in a new league
called the American Indoor Soccer Association (AISA). They played
two years in the league before the club went defunct.
The AISA began play for the 1984-85 season. For the 1990-91
season, the league was renamed the National
Professional Soccer League (NPSL) and is still in existence
today.
