The PSA was started in 1998 with four teams from the defunct Continental Indoor Soccer League. These included Arizona Thunder, Dallas Sidekicks, Portland Pythons (formerly the Portland Pride), and the Sacramento Knights. They continued in the tradition of the CISL, providing professional indoor soccer during the summer months.

CHAMPIONSHIP: Dallas defeated Sacramento, 6-2.
After the season, the PSA granted franchises to the Houston Hotshots,
and Monterrey La Raza. Finally, they reached a merger agreement with
the English Indoor Football League (which later fell apart), reconstituting
themselves as the World Indoor Soccer League (WISL).
